Summary:
The Salida Union Elementary district in California serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade across 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data analysis reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement within the district, with some standout schools and persistent challenges.
Salida Middle School - Vella Campus and Dena Boer elementary school stand out as the highest-performing schools in the district, with Dena Boer leading in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. However, the other elementary schools, including Mildred Perkins Elementary, Sisk Elementary, and Salida Elementary, have lower academic performance compared to the state average.
The district faces challenges such as high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.7% to 31.9%, and a significant percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively consistent across the schools, the district as a whole has room for improvement in raising overall student achievement and addressing the disparities in performance between the schools.
