Summary:
The 96065 zip code has only one school, Montgomery Creek Elementary, a public K-8 school that is part of the Mountain Union Elementary School District. While the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 60.6%, it performs better in science proficiency compared to the state average, with rates ranging from 33.33% to 36.36%. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics proficiency rates are lower than the state averages, indicating potential areas for improvement.
Montgomery Creek Elementary serves a student population with a high percentage (86.59%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a significant level of economic disadvantage. This factor may contribute to the school's academic performance, which has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1,080 out of 5,113 California elementary schools in 2007-2008 to 3,071 out of 5,862 in 2023-2024. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.5 is slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio for elementary schools, which could also impact the school's ability to provide individualized attention and support to its students.
Overall, the analysis of Montgomery Creek Elementary highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the school's academic challenges, particularly in ELA and mathematics. The high poverty levels and potential staffing constraints may require a comprehensive approach to improve student outcomes and ensure that all students have access to a quality education.
