Summary:
The Golden Plains Unified school district in California is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. These schools include San Joaquin Elementary, Tranquillity Elementary, Cantua Elementary, and Helm Elementary.
Among these schools, Helm Elementary stands out as the top performer, consistently outpacing the district and state averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, San Joaquin Elementary has the lowest performance and the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the district. Cantua Elementary also performs well, particularly in Mathematics, where it exceeds the district and state averages.
Across the district, all schools have high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.29% at San Joaquin Elementary to 98.32% at Cantua Elementary. The data suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the disparities in academic achievement, with smaller school size potentially playing a role in the success of Helm Elementary.
