Summary

Prosperity Elementary is a K–5 school serving 543 students in Bakersfield’s Greenfield Union district, near several other elementary schools. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were below district and state averages in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most important concern is math: its result was 18 percentage points below the state average, the school’s largest gap.

Prosperity’s 2025–2026 proficiency was 33% in ELA, 20% in math, and 21% in science, compared with state averages of 49%, 38%, and 36%, respectively. It was also below district averages of 44%, 27%, and 30%. Among Prosperity and four same-district K–5 peers with results, it ranked third in ELA and fourth in math and science; its scores were 8, 9, and 8 points below the peer averages in those subjects. Science was closest to the state average, while math was the clearest weakness. Nearby W. A. Kendrick Elementary stood out with 68% ELA, 54% math, and 42% science proficiency—each above the state average.

Math improved by 6 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while ELA and science were nearly unchanged; over that period, the state gap narrowed by 2 points in math but widened by 2 in ELA and 6 in science. Chronic absenteeism also improved, dropping from 47% to 23%, though the latest rate remained above the district’s 20% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger placed Prosperity at the 21st percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026; its student–teacher ratio was 21.6 in 2024–2025. Prosperity reported that 70% of students were directly certified for free meals in 2024–2025, and all students receive free meals through Community Eligibility. Nearby Kendrick had 93% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, but those measures are different and should not be compared numerically. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner subgroup percentile fell from 52 in 2022–2023 to 28 in 2023–2024, a 24-point drop in its statewide measure of how well the school serves that group, while the overall percentile changed little.
