Park Avenue Elementary

Better than 9% of California elementary schools

Summary

Park Avenue Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 541 students in the Yuba City Unified School District, located in a high-need community where nearly 95% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are less than half the state averages and notably lower than nearby schools like Lincrest Elementary and Lincoln Elementary. Its statewide ranking has declined to the 9th percentile, and it has the highest student-teacher ratio and chronic absenteeism rate among comparable schools in the district, which likely contributes to these academic struggles.

Despite these challenges, the school shows relative strength in supporting its special education students. The stark performance gap with other schools in the same district, such as the higher-ranked Lincoln Elementary, indicates that factors like specific school programs and leadership can influence outcomes. Furthermore, while nearby Twin Rivers Charter performs exceptionally well, it serves a student population with different needs, making direct comparisons difficult.
