Summary

Barry Elementary is a K-8 school serving 596 students in the Yuba City Unified district, performing near the middle of all California schools while serving a community with significant economic need.

When compared to other schools in the area, Barry has notable strengths and challenges. Academically, its math scores are stronger than most nearby schools in its district, including Bridge Street Elementary and Park Avenue Elementary, despite serving students with similar levels of economic disadvantage. The school has shown exceptional effectiveness in supporting its English Language Learner students. However, performance varies widely by grade level, with a concerning drop in math proficiency in 7th and 8th grades that is more dramatic than at other local K-8 schools like Andros Karperos.

The school's overall state ranking has been volatile in recent years, and chronic absenteeism, while improving, remains slightly above the district average. Barry's student-teacher ratio is favorable, and it spends more per student than many surrounding schools. For families, the key takeaways are the school's comparative success in math within its district, its clear strength in supporting English learners, and the identified need to address the middle school math performance dip and further improve attendance to match higher-performing peers like Lincoln Elementary.
