Summary:
The 95573 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Trinity Valley Elementary, which serves grades K-8 and is part of the Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified school district. While the school has a relatively small student population of 150, it faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that faces significant economic disadvantages.
Trinity Valley Elementary's test scores on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science exams lag behind both the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's highest proficiency rates are in 4th grade English Language Arts (35% proficient) and 8th grade English Language Arts (27.78% proficient), but these still fall short of the district and state benchmarks. The school struggles the most in mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 20% across the different grade levels. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 53% is alarmingly high, which likely contributes to the low academic performance.
Compounding these academic challenges, Trinity Valley Elementary serves a student population that faces significant economic disadvantages, with 85.33% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty level can impact learning and academic outcomes. The school's slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 14.9 may also suggest resource constraints that could be impacting the quality of instruction and support available to students. Addressing these multifaceted issues will require a comprehensive approach involving increased resources, targeted interventions, and community partnerships to support the students and families served by Trinity Valley Elementary.
