Summary:
The Pacheco Union Elementary district in California serves students from grades K-8 across two schools - Pacheco Elementary and Prairie Elementary. While both schools have similar student populations, they exhibit distinct performance characteristics that are worth noting.
Prairie Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, with significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, 49.25% of Prairie Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to 43.48% and 35.93% for the district, and 47.04% and 35.54% for the state. This suggests the school may have effective teaching practices and curriculum that could be worth further investigation.
Meanwhile, Pacheco Elementary has shown improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from 1689th out of 2802 California middle schools in 2022-2023 to 1068th out of 2777 in 2023-2024, while also improving its SchoolDigger star rating from 2 to 3 stars. This indicates the school may be making positive changes and addressing areas of concern, though its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.6% in 2022-2023 is an area that could benefit from further attention.
