Summary:
The Jurupa Unified School District in California is home to 17 elementary schools serving grades K-6, with student populations ranging from 307 to 1,247. While the district as a whole is ranked 1,304 out of 1,568 school districts in the state and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools are performing better than the district and state averages.
Camino Real Elementary, Glen Avon Elementary, and Indian Hills Elementary are ranked among the top 3,844 elementary schools in California and rated 2 out of 5 stars. These schools consistently outperform the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels. In contrast, other schools in the district, such as West Riverside Elementary, Ina Arbuckle Elementary, and Mission Bell Elementary, struggle to meet the state averages in academic proficiency.
The data also reveals concerning trends across the district, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19.3% to 37.9%, and a significant correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance. Schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have the lowest proficiency rates. Addressing these equity and access issues, as well as improving attendance and implementing targeted instructional strategies, could be crucial steps in driving academic improvement across the Jurupa Unified School District.
