Summary:

The Escalon Unified school district operates seven public schools in California, serving around 2,676 students from elementary through high school, including a continuation school, with academic performance that varies significantly across its campuses.

Among the district's schools, Van Allen Elementary stands out as the top performer with the strongest test scores and remarkably low student absenteeism. Escalon High shows impressive improvement and boasts a graduation rate well above the state average. In contrast, Collegeville Elementary faces greater challenges despite higher per-student spending, while Vista High (Continuation) serves a small, high-needs population with very high spending and significant attendance hurdles.

Overall, the district's greatest strength is its high graduation rate, but it trails state averages in core subjects like math and science. Parents will find notable differences between schools; for example, chronic absenteeism is very low at Farmington Elementary but a major concern at Vista High. Performance tends to dip in upper elementary and middle school grades, suggesting areas where the district is focusing on improvement.
