Summary:
The Shanel Valley Academy District consists of a single elementary public charter school, Shanel Valley Academy, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Shanel Valley Academy appears to be a consistently low-performing school, ranking among the bottom 5% of elementary schools in California for the past two school years.
Shanel Valley Academy's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was just 5.88%, compared to the state average of 42.8%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 30.4% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is much higher than the state average.
Additionally, Shanel Valley Academy serves a student population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 72.87% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to the school's low performance and could require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population.
