Summary

Von Renner Elementary is a public K-5 school serving about 530 students in Newman, CA, and is part of the Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District, showing a strong and steady record of improvement in recent years.

The school is particularly effective at supporting English Language Learners, ranking in the top tiers statewide for this group, and has made impressive strides in reducing chronic student absences, now performing better than both district and state averages. While its overall academic ranking is in the middle compared to other schools, its math scores are notably stronger than the district average. The school achieves these results with efficient use of resources, spending less per student than some nearby schools like Hunt Elementary while maintaining a comparable student-teacher ratio. However, science proficiency is a significant challenge, mirroring a broader trend across the district.

When looking at nearby schools, Von Renner's consistent upward trajectory is a key strength. It outperforms schools with similar demographics like Gustine Elementary and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate than Las Palmas Elementary. Within its own district, the standout is Bonita Elementary, which achieves much higher proficiency rates across subjects, suggesting there are successful practices within the district that could be learned from. The data indicates Von Renner is a school on the rise, with clear strengths in specific areas and opportunities to grow in others.
