Byron Union Elementary

The Byron Union Elementary district in California consists of 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools (Discovery Bay Elementary, Timber Point Elementary, and Byron Institute for Independent Study) and 1 middle school (Excelsior Middle). The data reveals significant variation in academic performance across the district, with Discovery Bay Elementary standing out as a top performer, while Timber Point Elementary and Excelsior Middle show more average results.

Discovery Bay Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with a high percentage of students proficient or better across most grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, Timber Point Elementary and Excelsior Middle have test scores that are on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, indicating they are more typical performers in the region.

Across the district, there are some areas of concern, such as high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21% to 27.5%, and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students with free/reduced lunch rates between 28.57% and 42.86%. These factors may contribute to the challenges the schools face in matching or exceeding state-level proficiency rates on standardized assessments. The district has an opportunity to evaluate best practices and implement strategies to raise the performance of all its schools and address these equity-related issues.
