Summary:
This analysis examines six elementary schools serving grades K-5 in the New Haven Unified School District, all located in Union City, California (zip code 94587).
Among these schools, Delaine Eastin Elementary stands out as the top performer, with the highest test scores and lowest chronic absenteeism rate, while Searles Elementary faces the greatest challenges, with the lowest academic scores and highest rate of economic need. Guy Junior Emanuele Elementary shows the most improvement in recent years, and Tom Kitayama Elementary has a notable strength in science instruction.
Overall, there is significant variation in performance within the district, with a wide gap between the highest and lowest achieving schools. Factors like chronic absenteeism and economic need show some relationship with academic outcomes, but per-student spending does not clearly correlate with performance. Parents should note that mathematics scores tend to decline in higher grades at most schools, and that attendance is consistently linked to stronger student achievement across the area.
