Summary:
The Golden Feather Union Elementary school district has only one school, Concow Elementary, which serves grades K-8. This small, rural school faces significant challenges, with a high chronic absenteeism rate, low academic proficiency in core subjects, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Concow Elementary's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 4159 out of 5692 elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 5336 out of 5862 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics are consistently lower than the state average, ranging from 9.09% to 30.61% for ELA/Literacy and 9.09% to 27.27% for Mathematics. However, the school's proficiency rate in Science is higher than the state average at 35.71%.
Despite the challenges, Concow Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8, which may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 48.7% and the high percentage of students (95.65%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicate that the school needs to address significant socioeconomic barriers to student success. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and collaboration with the broader community.
