Summary

Maple Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 574 students in the Tulare City School District, which ranks in the lower quarter of California districts, and the school itself is currently ranked in the bottom 12% of all state elementary schools.

Academically, student proficiency in English, math, and science is significantly below both state and district averages, with math scores showing a particularly sharp decline from 3rd to 5th grade. The school serves a community with high economic need, with over 93% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While chronic student absenteeism has improved greatly since the pandemic, it remains higher than the district average and at several nearby schools like Heritage Elementary and Frank Kohn Elementary. Interestingly, Maple Elementary receives the highest per-student funding in the district, yet its academic outcomes are among the lowest.

There are notable performance differences even among schools in the same district. For example, Pleasant Elementary, less than a mile away, has proficiency rates nearly double those of Maple. The most direct comparison is with Roosevelt Elementary, which has similar demographics and academic challenges. Despite its overall ranking, Maple has shown recent improvement and its programs for English Language Learners have been relatively more effective, suggesting areas of positive momentum.
