Summary

Terrace Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 363 students in the Delano Union Elementary district, notable for its dramatic improvement in student attendance.

The school's most remarkable achievement is reducing chronic absenteeism from 37% to an exceptional 1.3% in just three years, giving it the best attendance rate among local schools like Nueva Vista Language Academy (3.1%) and Del Vista Math and Science Academy (8.6%). Academically, the school shows particular strength in supporting English Learner students and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, though overall test scores in English, Math, and Science are below state averages. It achieves these results with lower per-student spending than several neighboring schools.

Parents should note that performance varies by grade, with 4th grade being a particular strength, and that the school faces significant challenges in serving its Special Education students. While Columbine Elementary in a different district has higher test scores, Terrace Elementary's focus on attendance and specific student groups shows a committed, improving school environment.
