Summary:
The 95310 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Columbia Elementary, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 437 students. While this school is the only option for families in this area, the data suggests it is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student attendance, and socioeconomic factors.
Columbia Elementary's test scores on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science exams are consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 20.51% to 50% in math and 22.92% to 50% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 31.57% to 45.64% in math and 42.8% to 47.37% in ELA. Additionally, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 36.9%, which is significantly higher than the state average, and over 55% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite these challenges, Columbia Elementary is ranked 3,674 out of 5,862 California elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, placing it in the bottom 37% of schools statewide. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from Columbia Union for the past three school years, suggesting that it may require additional support and resources to improve student outcomes and better serve the needs of the local community.
