Elementary Schools in Tulare City

Summary:

The Tulare City school district in California is home to 12 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools vary in their academic performance, with a few standouts like Mission Valley Elementary and Garden Elementary ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. While the district as a whole tends to underperform compared to California averages, these top-performing schools demonstrate that success is achievable for Tulare City students.

Mission Valley Elementary is the highest-ranked elementary school in Tulare City, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that exceed the district and state averages. Garden Elementary is another standout, ranking second in the district and outperforming Tulare City and California in several grade-level assessments. Meanwhile, Alpine Vista has shown particular strength in Mathematics, with 45% of 3rd graders proficient compared to the district average of 32.12%.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, such as Maple Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary, and Wilson Elementary. Addressing these disparities and improving overall academic achievement should be a priority for the Tulare City school district.
