Gorman Joint

The Gorman Joint District in California has only one school, Gorman Elementary, which serves grades K-8 with an enrollment of 83 students. While the school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has fluctuated between the 2,200s and 2,800s out of over 5,600 elementary schools, indicating average to below-average performance compared to other California elementary schools.

Gorman Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas, with some grades performing below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 25.3%, which is well above the state average. Additionally, 63.86% of Gorman Elementary students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The school's slightly higher-than-recommended student-teacher ratio of 22.2 may also be a sign of staffing challenges, which could impact the school's ability to provide personalized attention and support to students. Overall, the data suggests that Gorman Elementary is facing some challenges, particularly related to academic performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors, and may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
