Elementary Schools in Bassett Unified

Summary:

The Bassett Unified school district in California is home to four elementary schools: Don Julian Elementary, Edgewood Academy, Sunkist Elementary, and J.E. Van Wig Elementary. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face challenges common to many economically disadvantaged areas.

Among the four schools, Edgewood Academy stands out as the top performer, ranking 2,118 out of 5,862 California elementary schools and consistently earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, Sunkist Elementary struggles the most, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages in both subjects.

Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, with Sunkist Elementary having the highest rate at 37.1%. Additionally, all four schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 86.09% to 93.66%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. These factors likely contribute to the performance disparities observed across the district.
