Summary

Barton (Clara) Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 588 students in the Anaheim Elementary district, operating in a high-need community where over three-quarters of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Barton performs below the state average but is one of the stronger schools within its own district, ranking 2nd in Math and 3rd in English Language Arts among comparable Anaheim Elementary schools like Madison (James) Elementary and Price (Adelaide) Elementary. However, a major challenge is chronic absenteeism, which at 24.7% is the highest rate among all nearby schools, including those in the neighboring Magnolia Elementary district. The data reveals a significant "district effect": schools in the Magnolia Elementary district, such as Walt Disney less than a mile away, achieve much higher academic rankings while serving a similarly high-need student population.

Barton receives substantial funding per student, but outcomes are volatile, especially for vulnerable groups; performance has dropped sharply for English Learners and Special Education students in recent years, while improving for students experiencing homelessness. The school shows a concerning drop in Math proficiency by 5th grade and struggles most with student attendance. Compared to a school like Price Elementary, which has similar funding and demographics but far better attendance and slightly higher test scores, Barton has clear opportunities to improve by focusing on consistent support systems and reducing absenteeism.
