Summary:
The Center Joint Unified school district in California is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the schools share a common district, the data reveals notable differences in their academic performance and other key metrics.
North Country Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 3797 out of 5862 California elementary schools in 2023-2024. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grade levels, and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 28.3%. In contrast, Arthur S. Dudley Elementary has the lowest proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics, and the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 37.8%.
The data also suggests a potential relationship between smaller class sizes and stronger academic performance. Cyril Spinelli Elementary, which has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 20:1, outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency across most grade levels and ranks the highest among the 4 schools in 2021-2022. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and socioeconomic challenges faced by the district's predominantly low-income student population could be crucial steps in improving overall academic achievement across the Center Joint Unified elementary schools.
