Alicante Avenue Elementary faces significant challenges, including a notable increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 5.7% in 2017-2018 to 36.2% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the district's 2022-2023 rate of 34.3% and the state's average. The school's academic performance is also a concern, as it consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages across various standardized assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.81% to 28.1% in English Language Arts/Literacy, 11.9% to 28.17% in Mathematics, and 7.48% to 11.81% in Spanish. Additionally, the school's student subgroups, such as female students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, consistently rank in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools, indicating significant achievement gaps.
When compared to nearby schools, such as Horizon Elementary and Grow Academy Arvin, Alicante Avenue Elementary consistently underperforms across various metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and student subgroup performance. This suggests that the challenges faced by the school are not solely due to its district or geographic location, but rather specific to the school itself. The high rates of poverty, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch eligibility, and the increasing chronic absenteeism may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the school and its student population.
