Summary:
This analysis examines five elementary schools serving grades K-6 (and K-8 at Clovis Global Academy) in zip code 93612, part of the Clovis Unified area, revealing a mix of performance where one charter school stands out.
Clovis Global Academy is the top performer, with the highest test scores in English and math and the lowest rate of chronic student absences. Weldon Elementary shows impressive recent improvement in its statewide ranking, while Cole Elementary is noted for its consistent, stable performance over several years. In contrast, Sierra Vista Elementary and Tarpey Elementary face greater challenges, with academic proficiency rates below the state average and higher chronic absenteeism.
An interesting finding is that higher per-student spending does not directly correlate with better academic results in this group. Science scores are an area for growth across all schools, with only Cole exceeding the state average. For parents, this overview highlights that school choice in this area involves considering standout academic performance, notable improvement, or consistent stability, with significant differences in outcomes between schools.
