Summary:
Washington Colony Elementary is the sole school in the data set, serving grades K-8 in Fresno, California. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (90.2%) and faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 81.96% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
While Washington Colony Elementary has performed above the state average in English Language Arts/Literacy, its Mathematics and Science proficiency rates are more concerning, particularly in the upper grades. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, dropping from 875 out of 1417 California elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 2192 out of 5848 in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.
Overall, the analysis of Washington Colony Elementary highlights both strengths and areas for improvement. The school's performance in English Language Arts/Literacy is a positive, but the declining statewide ranking, uneven academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges suggest that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to enhance student outcomes.
