Summary

Garfield Elementary is a consistently top-rated K-6 school serving 610 students in the high-performing Clovis Unified district, where it stands out for its academic excellence and effective support for all students.

Academically, Garfield significantly outperforms both district and state averages, with over 78% of students proficient in English and 73% in math. This performance is notably stronger than many nearby schools like Fort Washington Elementary and Maple Creek Elementary. The school shows exceptional strength in supporting its students, ranking in the state's top percentiles for Hispanic student achievement and for students with disabilities. Furthermore, Garfield maintains a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 9%, which is a key indicator of a healthy school environment and is much better than the district average.

While other excellent schools exist in the area, such as Woods (Harold L.) Elementary, Garfield's achievement is particularly noteworthy because it excels while serving a student population with a higher level of economic need than some of its peers. The school's success over the past decade, including a strong recovery from pandemic-related challenges, points to stable leadership and effective teaching practices that benefit every child who walks through its doors.
