Summary

Alila is a public elementary school serving 423 students in grades K-5 in Earlimart, California, operating within the Earlimart Elementary district, which ranks among the lowest in the state.

Academically, Alila faces significant challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science well below state averages. This is despite the school spending more per student ($25,637) than many nearby schools and having a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.6 to 1. For example, Columbine Elementary, located just a few miles away in the higher-ranked Columbine Elementary district, spends far less per student but achieves much higher proficiency rates. Alila's chronic absenteeism rate, while improved from pandemic highs, remains higher than several neighboring schools like Earlimart Elementary.

However, the school shows a notable area of strength in effectively serving its English Language Learner students, ranking above average statewide for this group. Performance has been volatile year-to-year, and a recent gender performance gap has emerged. The contrast with higher-performing schools in neighboring districts like Delano Union Elementary suggests broader systemic factors may be at play within Alila's home district.
