Summary

Standard Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 627 students in Bakersfield, California, operating within the Standard Elementary district, which ranks in the bottom 8% of all districts in the state.

The school faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency in English, math, and science well below state averages and a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, though this marks a major improvement from past years. An interesting pattern is a sharp drop in student performance between 3rd and 4th grade, suggesting a possible transition issue. Despite having the highest per-student spending in its district at $19,848, these resources have not yet translated to superior academic outcomes compared to its direct peers like Highland Elementary and Wingland Elementary.

There are signs of positive momentum, as the school's state ranking and test scores have improved recently. Notably, the school performs relatively better in mathematics within its own district. A stark contrast exists with Downtown Elementary, a higher-performing school just a few miles away in the Bakersfield City district, which has much higher test scores and a far lower absenteeism rate, highlighting the variability between schools in the area.
