Summary:
The Greenfield Union Elementary district includes four K-6 elementary schools serving between 571 and 693 students each, all of which rank in the bottom quarter of California schools but have shown recent improvement.
When comparing the schools, Mary Chapa Academy stands out for having the best English Language Arts scores and the best attendance, while Oak Avenue Elementary leads in mathematics. Cesar Chavez Elementary shows a notable strength in science, with proficiency more than double that of most other schools in the district. All schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 70% to over 90%.
Overall, the district's academic proficiency is significantly below state averages, though every school's statewide ranking has improved over the past three years. Key areas for parent consideration include the strong science program at Cesar Chavez, the high attendance and ELA performance at Mary Chapa Academy, and the math leadership at Oak Avenue. Arroyo Seco Academy has also shown good attendance but currently has the lowest academic rankings within the district.
