Savanna Elementary

The Savanna Elementary School District in California serves 4 elementary schools, providing education for students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The data reveals notable differences in the performance and characteristics of these schools, with Holder Elementary standing out as the highest-performing school in the district.

Holder Elementary ranks 1453 out of 5,848 California elementary schools, the highest in the district, and is the only school to receive a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperforms the district and state averages in most academic subjects, particularly in 5th grade science, and has the lowest student-teacher ratio of 19.6. In contrast, Cerritos Elementary had the lowest 6th grade math proficiency at 25%, compared to 38.75% for the district and 33.19% for the state.

Chronic absenteeism is a concern, with Twila Reid Elementary having the highest rate at 25.7%, significantly above the other schools. Socioeconomic factors also appear to play a role, as schools with higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as Twila Reid and Hansen Elementary, tend to have lower academic performance compared to Holder and Cerritos, which have lower free/reduced lunch rates. These insights highlight the need for the district to address disparities in academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and resource allocation to ensure equitable opportunities for all students.
