Kit Carson Union Elementary


Summary:

The Kit Carson Union Elementary district in California serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade and contains two schools - Kit Carson Elementary and Mid Valley Alternative Charter. While the overall district ranking is low, the data reveals a significant performance gap between the two schools, with Mid Valley Alternative Charter standing out as a high-performing institution within the district.

Mid Valley Alternative Charter demonstrates significantly higher test scores than the district average, particularly in English Language Arts, where 7th grade students achieved a 53.85% proficiency rate compared to the district's 38.33%. In contrast, Kit Carson Elementary has relatively low test scores, with proficiency rates ranging from 16-44% in ELA and 9-27% in Math across grade levels, contributing to its low statewide ranking in the bottom 12% of California elementary schools.

Further analysis shows that Kit Carson Elementary has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.3%, which may be a contributing factor to their low test scores. Both schools have high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population. The difference in student-teacher ratios, with Mid Valley Alternative Charter having a higher ratio of 21.7 compared to 17.9 at Kit Carson Elementary, may also play a role in the schools' performance.
