Summary:
Zip code 93218 contains one elementary school, Ducor Union Elementary, a K-8 school serving 136 students in the Ducor Union Elementary district.
This school is a notable turnaround story, having dramatically improved its statewide ranking from the 2nd percentile to the 14th percentile over the past few years, earning its first star rating. It also maintains a chronic absenteeism rate lower than the state average, which is a significant strength. However, academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science still below state averages, and there are concerning drops in performance, particularly in the 6th grade.
Despite high per-student spending, the school faces challenges common to serving a high-needs population, with over three-quarters of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Parents should note the school's clear progress and strong attendance but also the variability in performance across different grade levels, suggesting some grades excel while others need significant support.
