Summary:
The San Miguel Joint Union district in California is home to two elementary schools: Lillian Larsen Elementary and Cappy Culver Elementary. While both schools serve students in grades K-8, they exhibit notable differences in their student demographics, academic performance, and other key metrics.
Cappy Culver Elementary stands out with a higher statewide ranking and star rating compared to Lillian Larsen Elementary. Cappy Culver also has a significantly different student racial makeup, with a majority white population, while Lillian Larsen has a majority Hispanic student body. Additionally, Cappy Culver serves a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by its lower free/reduced-price lunch rate.
However, Cappy Culver Elementary faces a concerning challenge with its high chronic absenteeism rate, which is nearly double that of Lillian Larsen Elementary. While Cappy Culver generally outperforms Lillian Larsen and the overall San Miguel Joint Union district on academic assessments, there is an interesting anomaly in 7th grade English Language Arts proficiency, where Cappy Culver falls significantly behind the district average.
