Elementary Schools in Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified

Summary:

The Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District serves elementary students through eight schools, including seven traditional public schools and one charter academy, in a district ranked in the 37th percentile statewide.

Among these schools, Competitive Edge Charter Academy (CECA) stands out as the top performer, with significantly higher test scores in English, math, and science, and a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 5.4%. In contrast, Calimesa Elementary faces considerable challenges, with the district's lowest academic scores and the highest chronic absenteeism at 33.7%. Other schools like Ridgeview Elementary and Valley Elementary show more average performance, though rankings can vary from year to year.

Overall, the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified district averages fall below state averages in all core subjects, with mathematics being a particular area of concern, especially between third and fourth grade. Chronic absenteeism is also higher than the state average at the district level. While per-student spending and student-teacher ratios vary, these factors do not show a clear link to academic outcomes within the district, suggesting that instructional practices and student attendance are critical areas for focus.
