Oak Valley Elementary faces some significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.1%, which is higher than the state average. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with some grade levels performing better than the district and state averages on standardized tests, while others struggle. Additionally, the school serves a population with a high percentage (50.57%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
While Oak Valley Elementary has shown some bright spots in its performance, the data suggests that the school faces a range of challenges that may be impacting its overall academic outcomes. To improve the school's performance, the district and school leaders may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address issues like chronic absenteeism, inconsistent academic achievement, and the socioeconomic needs of the student population.
