Summary

Silas Bartsch Elementary is a K-8 school serving 606 students in Reedley, part of the Kings Canyon Joint Unified School District, and has shown impressive, steady improvement to become a 4-star school performing well above state averages.

The school truly excels in supporting specific groups of students, with its English Language Learners and Hispanic students achieving 5-star ratings that rank in the state's top 10%. Academically, it outperforms both its district and the state in English and math, and it stands out as one of the top schools within Kings Canyon Joint Unified. When compared to schools in the neighboring Dinuba Unified district, Silas Bartsch has higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism. However, its 10.4% chronic absenteeism rate is an area for attention, as it is higher than several district peers like Washington Elementary (1.0%) and Thomas Law Reed Elementary (3.5%).

An interesting pattern is that student performance is strongest in the lower grades, with a noticeable dip in middle school math and 8th-grade English, which is a common challenge for K-8 schools. Despite this, the school's decade-long journey from a 2-star to a consistent 4-star rating is a strong sign of effective teaching and leadership. With the highest per-student spending among nearby schools, Silas Bartsch appears to be using its resources effectively to deliver strong results for its community.

Wednesday, June 9, 2021

This school has great protentional with a lot of great staff, tools and resources for the children. However, their performance is lacking. Most grades do not provide adequate skills and work to ensure their students are gaining the necessary knowledge. After speaking to some teachers I have discovered they choose not to give work and let students 'work' on laptops because it is 'easier' for them... very disappointed in the quality of education here and the effort of their staff.
