Summary

Eric White Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 630 students in the Selma Unified district, operating in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces challenges, with overall test scores ranking in the lower statewide percentiles, particularly in science and upper-grade math. However, it performs comparably to or better than several district peers like Terry Elementary and Woodrow Wilson Elementary. A notable exception is the much higher-performing James Garfield Elementary, a nearby school with similar student demographics, suggesting school-level factors like instruction or leadership significantly impact results. Eric White spends less per student than most of its peers but has shown remarkable success in one key area: it has dramatically reduced chronic student absenteeism, now boasting a better attendance rate than the district and state averages.

Despite overall academic struggles, the school demonstrates clear strengths with specific student groups, showing consistently strong results for English Language Learners and migrant students. This effectiveness suggests targeted programs that work, which could be a foundation for broader improvement. The school's performance varies by grade, with third-grade math being a relative bright spot. For parents, Eric White represents a school in a challenging district that is successfully getting children to attend regularly and effectively supporting some of its most vulnerable learners, even as it works to raise overall academic achievement.
