Summary:
The Placerville Union Elementary district in California consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Sierra Elementary and Louisiana Schnell Elementary) and 1 middle school (Edwin Markham Middle). The data analysis reveals significant performance gaps between the schools, with Sierra Elementary being the standout performer and Louisiana Schnell Elementary lagging behind.
Sierra Elementary outperforms the district and state averages on Smarter Balanced Assessments and has the highest statewide ranking among the 3 schools, while Louisiana Schnell Elementary significantly lags behind. The data also reveals a correlation between the schools' socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and their academic performance, with the schools serving more low-income families performing worse.
Across the district, there are concerns about high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at Louisiana Schnell Elementary, which may be contributing to the lower academic achievement. The disparities in performance and socioeconomic status between the schools suggest potential equity issues within the Placerville Union Elementary district, and further investigation may be needed to address these concerns.
