Summary:
The Mesa Union Elementary district in California contains a single elementary school, Mesa Elementary. This school serves students from grades 3 through 8 and has a student population of 564. While the school's performance is generally consistent over the past three years, there are some areas for improvement, particularly in the lower grade levels.
Mesa Elementary's Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are mostly above the state averages, with the upper grade levels performing stronger than the lower grades. The school's Science (CAST) proficiency rates are also above the state average. However, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 35.99% indicates a moderate level of economic disadvantage among its student population, which could be a factor in the lower performance in the early grades.
Overall, Mesa Elementary is ranked in the middle range among California elementary schools and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's consistent performance and strengths in the upper grades suggest a stable educational environment, but the lower performance in the early grades indicates a need to focus on strengthening foundational skills and instructional strategies in the lower grade levels.
