Big Oak Flat-Groveland Unified

The Big Oak Flat-Groveland Unified school district in California serves students from elementary through high school, with 3 schools in the district - 1 elementary school and 2 high schools.

Tenaya Elementary stands out as the largest school with 179 students, but also has the highest student-teacher ratio and the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, the two high schools, Don Pedro High and Tioga High, have lower enrollment and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the district's high schools are performing significantly below the state and district averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science assessments, with both Don Pedro High and Tioga High seeing a decline in their statewide rankings over the past few years. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is a major concern across all three schools, with Tenaya Elementary and Tioga High having particularly high rates of 48.5% and 58.8%, respectively. These factors suggest the need for targeted interventions to support student success and address the disparities observed within the district.
