Summary

Ronald Reagan Elementary is a public school serving 490 students in grades 3 and 4 in the Chowchilla Elementary district, operating within a high-need community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with test scores in English and math consistently below state averages and ranking in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools; for comparison, nearby schools like El Nido Elementary and Plainsburg Union Elementary achieve notably higher proficiency rates. The school also operates with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than many surrounding schools, such as Merle L. Fuller Elementary and Stephens Elementary within its own district.

However, Ronald Reagan Elementary has a remarkable strength in dramatically reducing chronic student absenteeism to just 7%, a rate that is better than the district and state averages and lower than most nearby schools, demonstrating a strong attendance culture and effective interventions despite its resource constraints.
