Summary:
The 93203 zip code area in California is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, spread across two different school districts - Arvin Union and Grow Academy Arvin District. While the data reveals significant academic challenges across the schools, with most students performing well below state averages on standardized tests, there are a few standout schools worth noting.
Grow Academy Arvin, a public charter elementary/middle school, emerges as the top performer in the area, ranking in the top 2 stars out of 5 on the SchoolDigger scale and outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests. In contrast, Di Giorgio Elementary, a small public elementary/middle school, stands out for having 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population, despite its low test scores.
Across the board, the schools in this data set struggle with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and elevated chronic absenteeism compared to state averages. The data suggests that addressing the root causes of these systemic challenges, particularly the high-needs student populations, will be crucial for improving academic outcomes in the 93203 zip code area. While the performance of Grow Academy Arvin provides a potential model for success, the overall data paints a picture of a high-needs school community facing significant academic achievement gaps that need to be addressed.
