Elementary Schools in Greenfield Union

The Greenfield Union school district in California is home to 9 elementary schools serving grades K-5, with one school (Greenfield Community) also including grades 6-8. The schools vary significantly in size, with student populations ranging from 18 students at Greenfield Community to 1,041 students at Valle Verde Elementary.

Based on the data, a few schools stand out as performing better than the others. W.A. Kendrick Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in California, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. Granite Pointe Elementary also performs well, ranking among the top elementary schools in the state with higher proficiency rates than the district and state. The remaining schools generally perform below the district and state averages, with Planz Elementary and Greenfield Community being the lowest-performing.

The district faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, with several schools exceeding 25%, and a significant performance gap between the top-performing and lowest-performing schools. The schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower academic performance, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement. Addressing these issues, as well as the unique challenges faced by smaller schools like Greenfield Community, should be the district's priorities to improve overall student outcomes.
