Summary:
The Shanel Valley Academy District has only one elementary school, Shanel Valley Academy, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 129 students. This public charter school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of California elementary schools, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance.
Shanel Valley Academy faces significant challenges, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.4%, extremely low test scores across all subjects and grade levels, with the majority of students not meeting proficiency standards, and a high percentage of students (72.87%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 21.5 to 1, which may contribute to the difficulties in supporting student learning.
Overall, the data suggests that Shanel Valley Academy is a low-performing school that is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the identified challenges, such as improving instructional quality, reducing chronic absenteeism, and providing additional resources and support for economically disadvantaged students, will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach involving the school, district, and community stakeholders.
