Summary:

Clovis Elementary is a public elementary school located in Clovis, California, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 670 students. It is part of the Clovis Unified School District, which is ranked 326 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clovis Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels, though its scores are slightly lower than the district average. The school's strongest performance is in 3rd grade English Language Arts/Literacy, where 57.29% of students are proficient or better, compared to 42.8% statewide. However, Clovis Elementary has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.8% in 2017-2018 to 16.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district average of 11.1% at Red Bank Elementary, the best-performing nearby school. Additionally, Clovis Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.76% to 71.79% over the past three years, significantly higher than nearby schools like Cedarwood Elementary (31.71%) and Gettysburg Elementary (32.83%).

While Clovis Elementary performs better than some nearby schools, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Red Bank Elementary, Gettysburg Elementary, and Cedarwood Elementary in both academic achievement and other key metrics. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students performing relatively well, but Asian and male students lagging behind their peers. By addressing these areas, Clovis Elementary can potentially improve its overall academic outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
