Summary

Weldon Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 538 students in the high-performing Clovis Unified district, currently showing a promising trend of improvement after several challenging years.

Academically, Weldon's performance is mixed when compared to other schools in the district. While its English Language Arts scores (55% proficient) are above the state average, its Math (38%) and especially Science (17%) scores lag behind both the district and state. This creates a noticeable gap when looking at top-performing nearby schools like Garfield Elementary and Woods (Harold L.) Elementary. However, the 2024-2025 data shows significant recovery, with the school's statewide ranking jumping to the 59th percentile. The school serves a population with a high rate of economic need (74% qualify for free/reduced lunch), similar to Sierra Vista Elementary and Tarpey Elementary, and data suggests Weldon is relatively effective in supporting these students.

Key areas for attention include a chronic absenteeism rate of 24%, which is higher than the district average and likely impacts learning, and the critically low science scores. Performance also varies greatly by grade, with 5th-grade math being a particular concern. On a positive note, being part of Clovis Unified provides a strong foundation, and the school's recent upward trajectory suggests targeted interventions are beginning to work. Parents may want to look at the practices of Cole Elementary, a school with similar demographics that achieves higher academic results.
