Summary:
The Norris Elementary district in Bakersfield, California, is home to four elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the data analysis, two schools stand out as top performers: William B. Bimat Elementary and Veterans Elementary.
William B. Bimat Elementary ranks the highest among the four schools, with impressive test scores that often exceed 60% proficiency in multiple grade levels and subject areas. The school also boasts the lowest student-teacher ratio at 19.9, which may contribute to its academic success. Veterans Elementary is another high-performing school, ranking second in the district and demonstrating strong test scores, particularly in 3rd grade Mathematics and 5th grade Science.
While the other two schools, Norris Elementary and Olive Drive Elementary, have generally lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates, the district as a whole serves a population with similar socioeconomic backgrounds, as indicated by the comparable free/reduced lunch rates across all four schools. This suggests that the district is working to provide equitable educational opportunities for its students.
