Summary:
The Union Elementary district in California is home to 6 high-performing elementary schools, with several standout institutions that consistently rank among the top in the state. Carlton Elementary and Oster Elementary are the district's top performers, boasting excellent test scores, low chronic absenteeism rates, and a high percentage of students proficient in core subjects.
While the district as a whole outperforms the state average, there is a noticeable gap in performance between the top-tier schools and the lower-performing ones, such as Lietz Elementary and Noddin Elementary. This suggests the need to examine the practices and resources at the higher-performing schools and potentially implement them across the district to ensure all students have access to the same educational opportunities.
The district's student-teacher ratios are relatively low, which is generally a positive indicator of the district's ability to provide personalized attention to students. However, the district may want to explore if there are any differences in student outcomes based on the varying ratios. Additionally, addressing the chronic absenteeism rates, especially at Lietz Elementary, could be an area of focus for the district to improve overall student engagement and academic achievement.
