Summary:
The 93261 zip code has only one school, Richgrove Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 508 students. Based on the available data, Richgrove Elementary appears to be a struggling school, consistently performing significantly below the state average on key metrics such as standardized test scores and statewide rankings.
Richgrove Elementary has a low statewide ranking, with a 0-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. The school's proficiency rates on Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST (California Science Test) are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rate in English Language Arts/Literacy for 3rd grade was 16.92%, compared to the state average of 42.8%. The school's performance in Mathematics and Science is also well below the state averages.
Additionally, Richgrove Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (93.5%) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.9%, both of which can contribute to the school's academic challenges. The school's declining statewide ranking over the past three years suggests that it is falling behind other elementary schools in California and may require significant interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
