Mesa Union Elementary

The Mesa Union Elementary School District in California has a single school, Mesa Elementary, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 564 students. Overall, Mesa Elementary appears to be performing reasonably well, with some grade levels excelling on state assessments while others struggle.

Mesa Elementary's Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) scores in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally above the state average, with 7th graders performing significantly better than the state in ELA. However, 4th grade ELA and 4th and 6th grade Mathematics scores are below the state average. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 13.2%, which may impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, Mesa Elementary has a student-teacher ratio of 20.3, slightly higher than the state average.

While Mesa Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years, the data reveals some areas for potential improvement. The school may benefit from learning from its high-performing grade levels and implementing strategies to address the lower-performing areas. Additionally, the high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggests the need to closely monitor and address any potential equity gaps in student achievement and access to resources.
