Mupu Elementary

Mupu Elementary is the sole school in the Mupu Elementary School District, serving grades K-8 in Santa Paula, California. With a total enrollment of 181 students, the school's academic performance on standardized tests is consistently below the state average across multiple subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate and a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential equity concerns.

Mupu Elementary's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics is generally below the state average, with some grade levels performing significantly worse. For example, in 2023-2024, only 22.22% of 3rd graders and 16.67% of 4th graders at Mupu Elementary were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to the state averages of 42.8% and 43.9%, respectively. The school's performance on the California Science Test (CAST) is also below the state average, with only 23.68% of students scoring proficient or better at the end-of-course level, compared to the state average of 30.7%.

The data suggests that Mupu Elementary may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, and there may be a need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the school and its population. Further analysis and collaboration with the school district and community would be necessary to develop a comprehensive understanding of the school's challenges and identify effective strategies for improvement.
