Summary:
The Marysville Joint Unified School District is home to 14 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The schools vary significantly in size, from the small Browns Valley Elementary with just 128 students to the much larger Kynoch Elementary with 714 students. While some schools in the district excel, with Browns Valley Elementary and Covillaud Elementary ranking among the top performers, others struggle with low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism.
The district-wide proficiency rates on state assessments trail the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, indicating room for improvement across the schools. Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, ranging from 6.9% at Browns Valley Elementary to an alarming 55.3% at Yuba Feather Elementary. Additionally, the high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, from 43.75% to 89.64%, suggest many families in the district are facing economic hardship.
Despite the challenges, the data shows that students in the Marysville Joint Unified School District are capable of achieving at high levels, as evidenced by the exceptional performance of Browns Valley Elementary and Covillaud Elementary. Identifying and replicating the practices of these top-performing schools could help raise achievement across the district and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
