Summary

Gibson Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 344 students in the Woodland Joint Unified school district, consistently ranking in the lower percentiles among California elementary schools with proficiency rates below district and state averages in English, Math, and Science.

When compared to nearby schools, Gibson's academic performance is notably lower than several peers, such as Spring Lake Elementary and Zamora Elementary, which achieve significantly higher proficiency rates. A striking finding is that Gibson spends more per student than these higher-performing schools, yet its outcomes remain among the lowest in the area, indicating that spending alone does not guarantee success. The school has made progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, but this improvement has not yet translated into stronger academic results.

The data shows significant performance gaps for different student groups at Gibson, with particularly low rankings for students in special education and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Performance also varies widely by grade level, suggesting inconsistencies in instruction. While the school serves a population with economic needs, other schools in the district with similar or higher levels of need achieve better results, pointing to school-level factors that may influence outcomes and offering potential models for improvement.
