Better than 6% of California elementary schools

Summary

Raisin City Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 255 students in a rural area of Fresno County, operating as its own small district.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science far below state averages; for example, 4th-grade math proficiency was 0% in the latest data. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of California schools for nearly a decade. This is notable when compared to nearby schools like Houghton-Kearney Elementary and Pacific Union Elementary, which serve similar student populations but achieve substantially higher academic results. Despite these struggles, Raisin City Elementary has one clear strength: its chronic absenteeism rate of 7.4% is remarkably low, beating the state average and most surrounding schools, showing a strong commitment to getting students to class.

An interesting point for parents is the school's high per-student spending of over $23,000, which is more than most comparable schools, yet academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests resources may not be effectively translating into classroom learning. Performance also varies widely by grade, with 3rd grade showing relative strength in English while 4th grade struggles profoundly in math. The school's district ranking is low, but recent years show modest improvement from the very bottom, indicating potential for growth if instructional strategies can be aligned with those of higher-performing neighbors.
