Buckeye Union Elementary

The Buckeye Union Elementary district in California consists of 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 alternative school. The district as a whole is ranked 114 out of 1,568 districts in the state and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as top performers. Rolling Hills Middle ranks 151 out of 2,777 middle schools in California and has a 5-star rating, consistently performing above the district and state averages on standardized tests. Charter Montessori Valley View Campus, a public charter elementary/middle school, ranks 605 out of 5,862 elementary schools in the state and has a 4-star rating, also outperforming the district and state on assessments, particularly in English Language Arts. The Buckeye Union Mandarin Immersion Charter school stands out with exceptional test scores, with over 95% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

However, the district also shows a significant disparity in performance between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools. Factors such as chronic absenteeism rates, free/reduced lunch rates, and student-teacher ratios vary widely across the schools, which may contribute to these differences. The district should focus on identifying and addressing the factors that lead to the success of the top-performing schools, while also implementing strategies to support the lower-performing schools and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
