Summary

August Schilling Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 344 students in the Newark Unified School District, which is currently facing significant academic and attendance challenges according to recent state data.

The school's academic performance is among the lowest in the state, with only about 14% of students proficient in English and 12% in math, placing it in the bottom 4% of all California elementary schools. This is a sharp decline from a decade ago. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with 44% of students missing too much school—more than double the average for both the district and the state. While the school serves a population with significant economic need, similar nearby schools like Cabrillo Elementary and Coyote Hills Elementary achieve notably better results with comparable student demographics.

Compared to other schools in the area, the differences are stark. For example, Forest Park Elementary in neighboring Fremont Unified has proficiency rates five times higher. Even within its own district, higher-performing schools like John F. Kennedy Elementary show that strong outcomes are possible in Newark Unified. Despite receiving the highest per-student funding in its district, August Schilling's outcomes remain the lowest, indicating that the challenges are specific to the school and require focused attention and intervention.
