Summary:
The Kernville Union Elementary district in California consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Woodrow W. Wallace Elementary and Kernville Elementary) and 1 middle school (Woodrow Wallace Middle). The data reveals significant disparities in performance between the schools, with Kernville Elementary standing out as the highest-performing school in the district.
Kernville Elementary has the highest statewide ranking among the three schools, currently ranked 3107 out of 5862 California elementary schools and rated 2 out of 5 stars. In the 2023-2024 school year, Kernville Elementary had significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science assessments. In contrast, Woodrow W. Wallace Elementary and Woodrow Wallace Middle appear to be the lower-performing schools in the district, with significantly lower proficiency rates and statewide rankings.
The data also reveals some concerning trends across the district, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 41.8% at Woodrow Wallace Middle to 51.9% at Kernville Elementary, which are significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve economically disadvantaged student populations, with very high free/reduced lunch rates, which likely presents additional challenges in supporting student learning and achievement.
