Summary:
Vineland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Baldwin Park, California, serving grades K-8 with a student population of 550. It is part of the Baldwin Park Unified School District, which is ranked 966 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.
Vineland Elementary faces several challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 8.4% in 2017-2018 to 29.5% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. The school also consistently underperforms compared to the Baldwin Park Unified School District and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 25.51% of Vineland students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.57% for the district and 47.04% for the state. Additionally, Vineland Elementary struggles to support its student subgroups, particularly female, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, who consistently rank in the bottom 20-30% of their respective statewide rankings.
When comparing Vineland Elementary to other schools in the immediate vicinity, such as Central Elementary, Kenmore Elementary, and Foster Elementary, it becomes clear that Vineland is underperforming. The nearby San Jose Charter Academy, a public charter school, consistently outperforms Vineland and the state of California across all academic measures, suggesting that the charter school model may be more effective in this area. Vineland Elementary's exceptionally high free and reduced lunch rates, over 93% in recent years, coupled with its underperformance, indicate that the school faces significant challenges in serving a student population with high economic needs, which likely contributes to the school's struggles with attendance, academic achievement, and supporting student subgroups.
