Summary

Annie R. Mitchell is a K-6 elementary school serving 789 students in the Visalia Unified School District, performing relatively well academically given that a significant portion of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The school has notable strengths, particularly in supporting English Language Learners, where it consistently earns high state rankings, and in maintaining a lower rate of chronic absenteeism than both the district and state averages and nearby schools like Four Creeks Elementary and Highland Elementary. Its math proficiency also exceeds the district average, outperforming most local comparison schools except for Mountain View Elementary. The school has shown dramatic recent improvement in serving students with special needs.

Areas for attention include a recent decline in its statewide ranking, a significant performance gap between female and male students this year, and science scores that are below average. While the school effectively serves many student groups, its approaches appear more effective for some than others, indicating a need for tailored support. Compared to schools with similar challenges, such as Washington Elementary, Annie R. Mitchell generally achieves stronger academic results, suggesting effective use of its resources.

The principal doesn’t care for the students only the ones she wants (discriminates) and doesn’t treat them equally. Second the staff there don’t have morals like the the ones that work in the yard they yell at the kids with foul language but it’s ok for them to do it to get their attention which is not ok not a good school at all. That’s why I made a change. Close Quote
