Summary:
The Greenfield Union Elementary district consists of five public schools serving grades K-8 in a high-need area, with all schools having a large majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the five schools, Oak Avenue Elementary stands out as the top performer in the district, with the highest overall ranking and strongest test scores, while Cesar Chavez Elementary has shown the most improvement and has an exceptional science program. In contrast, Vista Verde Middle faces significant challenges, with the lowest academic performance and ranking in the district, highlighting a notable drop in achievement as students transition from elementary to middle school.
Overall, the district's academic proficiency rates are substantially below state averages, though it has a notable strength in managing student attendance, with chronic absenteeism rates much lower than the state average. Parents should note the positive trajectory of some schools like Mary Chapa Academy and Cesar Chavez, but also the consistent performance gap that exists across all schools compared to the rest of California.
