Summary:
The Le Grand Union Elementary School District in California has only one school, Le Grand Elementary, which serves grades K-8 with an enrollment of 337 students. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools over the past three years, indicating persistent academic challenges.
Le Grand Elementary is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, and its proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade, only 25% of students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to the state average of 42.8%. The school's proficiency rates in CAST Science assessments are also below the state averages for 5th and 8th grade. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is substantially higher than the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may also play a role, as Le Grand Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 80.71%, and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 18.6 compared to the state average. These challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on addressing the school's socioeconomic factors to drive meaningful improvements in student performance and outcomes.
