The 95319 zip code area has only one elementary school, Empire Elementary, which serves students in grades K-6. Based on the available data, Empire Elementary appears to be a struggling school, consistently ranking in the bottom 5% of California elementary schools over the past three years and earning a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Empire Elementary has very low proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to the Empire Union Elementary district and the state of California. In English Language Arts, proficiency ranges from 4-23.73%, compared to 22.3-31.05% for the district and 42.8-47.37% for the state. In Math, proficiency ranges from 6.25-14%, compared to 16.56-26.84% for the district and 34.31-45.64% for the state. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 52.8%, which likely contributes to the low academic performance.
The data suggests that Empire Elementary is a school in need of significant improvement and support. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (86.67%), indicating a high-need student population, and a student-teacher ratio on the higher end, the school faces substantial challenges. Targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on addressing the root causes of the school's struggles would be warranted to help improve student learning outcomes and provide a quality education for the community.
