Summary:
The Monson-Sultana Joint Union Elementary district in Sultana, California, consists of a single K-8 school, Monson-Sultana Elementary, serving 440 students in a high-need community.
Monson-Sultana Elementary shows notable strengths, particularly in student attendance and mathematics. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 7.0% is exceptionally low, less than half the state average, indicating a strong culture of engagement. Furthermore, the school's overall mathematics proficiency of 42.8% exceeds the California state average, a significant achievement given the high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
However, performance varies widely across grade levels and subjects. While middle school grades, especially 7th and 8th, perform well above state averages in some areas, 5th-grade scores in English and math are notably lower. Science proficiency is a key area for improvement, with the school's rate significantly below the state average. Despite its strengths in attendance and math, the school's overall state ranking has declined in recent years, suggesting that improvements in English language arts and science instruction could help elevate its standing.
