Summary

Di Giorgio Elementary is a small, K-8 public school in Arvin, CA, serving 231 students in a community with very high economic need, operating as its own district.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English and math far below state averages and ranking in the bottom 2% of California schools. Performance varies dramatically by grade; for example, while 8th graders perform near the state average in English, 5th and 7th graders show critical weaknesses in math. This is in stark contrast to nearby schools like Grow Academy Arvin, which serves a similar student population but achieves much higher proficiency rates. Despite these academic struggles, Di Giorgio has one remarkable strength: its chronic absenteeism rate of 5% is exceptionally low, beating the state average and nearly all surrounding schools, including Vineland Elementary and Bear Mountain Elementary, indicating strong daily attendance.

A particularly notable finding is the school's high per-student spending, which at over $33,000 is much greater than nearby schools in the Arvin Union district, yet has not led to improved academic outcomes. This creates a complex picture of a school that successfully gets students to attend but has not yet translated that attendance or its substantial resources into consistent grade-level learning across all grades, suggesting deep-rooted challenges that may require different approaches.
