Central Union Elementary

The Central Union Elementary district in California is home to four elementary schools: Akers Elementary, R.J. Neutra, Stratford Elementary, and Central Elementary. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the top-performing schools, Akers Elementary and R.J. Neutra, and the lower-performing schools, Stratford Elementary and Central Elementary.

Akers Elementary and R.J. Neutra stand out as the highest-performing schools in the district, with statewide rankings of 1210 and 978 respectively out of 5,862 California elementary schools. Both schools have a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating they are performing above average compared to other schools in the state. In contrast, Stratford Elementary and Central Elementary have the lowest statewide rankings, at 4,492 and 5,435 respectively, and a 1-star or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting they are performing significantly below average.

The data also reveals significant differences in academic performance across various subjects and grade levels. Akers Elementary and R.J. Neutra consistently outperform the district and state averages, while Stratford Elementary and Central Elementary struggle, with many grade levels performing below 30% proficiency. Factors such as chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic status may be contributing to the performance gaps, and the district-level initiatives may be needed to support and elevate the performance of all schools within the Central Union Elementary district.
