Summary:
The Le Grand Union Elementary district is a small, rural district serving grades K-8 through its single school, Le Grand Elementary, which has an enrollment of 344 students.
Le Grand Elementary shows a very positive trend, having significantly improved its statewide ranking over the last year, moving from the 25th to the 38th percentile. A major strength is student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate far better than the state average. The school also excels in 7th grade English Language Arts, where student proficiency exceeds the California average. With nearly 80% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a high-needs community but maintains a strong school culture that keeps students engaged.
Areas for growth are clear, particularly in science, where proficiency is well below state averages, and in 8th grade math, which shows a dramatic drop from 7th-grade performance. The school benefits from a decent student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, providing resources to address these challenges. For parents, the school represents a community-focused environment with notable recent improvement and excellent attendance, though academic results are mixed and targeted support in specific subjects is needed.
