Grow Academy Arvin

Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

Grow Academy Arvin is a small, autonomous K-8 public school serving 87 students in a high-needs community, demonstrating notable strengths in literacy and student attendance while facing clear challenges in mathematics.

The school's most significant achievement is its rapid improvement in English Language Arts, where 57% of students are now proficient—a rate that surpasses the state average and outperforms nearly all nearby schools like General Shafter Elementary (43.9%) and far exceeds others such as Bear Mountain Elementary (18.0%). It also excels in supporting English Learner students and maintains a low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.5%, which is better than the state average and compares well to local schools. As its own district, the school has autonomy that larger districts like Arvin Union do not, and it spends more per student than most comparable schools.

However, a major area for growth is mathematics, where only 22.1% of students are proficient, a rate well below the state average and significantly lower than General Shafter Elementary's 46.0%. This gap persists despite the school's higher per-student spending. In summary, Grow Academy Arvin is a small school making impressive strides in reading and attendance, offering a supportive environment, but it urgently needs to address its math instruction to provide a balanced education for its students.
