Summary

King Avenue Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 380 students in the Yuba City Unified School District, currently ranked in the lower quarter of all California elementary schools.

The school faces significant challenges, including a very high rate of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is higher than both the district and state averages. Academically, fewer than one-third of students meet state standards in English and Math, though its math scores are slightly above the district average. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated and recently declined, coinciding with increasing economic need among its students. Notably, the school shows a large performance gap between female and male students, and its effectiveness in serving students with special education needs dropped sharply this past year.

Compared to other schools in Yuba City Unified, King Avenue Elementary performs in the middle of the district but well behind higher-performing schools like Butte Vista Elementary and Tierra Buena Elementary. A stark contrast exists with the nearby Twin Rivers Charter school, which has much higher test scores and significantly lower absenteeism. Across the district, there is a clear pattern where schools with lower rates of economic disadvantage tend to have stronger academic results.
