Summary

Mary Chapa Academy is a K-6 elementary school serving 686 students in the Greenfield Union Elementary district, operating in a high-need community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school, like others in its district, faces significant academic challenges ranking in the bottom quartile statewide, it shows important strengths compared to its immediate peers. Mary Chapa outperforms other Greenfield Union Elementary schools like Cesar Chavez Elementary and Arroyo Seco Academy in English and math, and it excels in supporting vulnerable student groups, ranking at or near average for English learners, homeless students, and those in special education. Furthermore, the school maintains a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.4%, which is less than half the state average and better than most nearby schools.

The school's performance is improving, and its effectiveness with specific student groups is notable. However, academic results vary widely by grade and subject, with science being a particular area for growth. When compared to higher-performing schools in the region with similar challenges, such as Rose Ferrero Elementary in Soledad Unified, it suggests that stronger academic outcomes are achievable within the local context.
