Summary:
This analysis examines five elementary schools (four K-8 and one K-5) in zip code 95993, part of Yuba City, CA, revealing significant performance differences among them despite their close proximity.
Parents will find a clear contrast between the highest and lowest performing schools. Andros Karperos faces considerable challenges, with the lowest test scores and highest chronic absenteeism, while Franklin Elementary stands out for its strong math performance and very low absenteeism, and Tierra Buena Elementary excels in English Language Arts. Notably, Franklin, which operates under its own Franklin Elementary district, achieves these results with the lowest per-student spending, suggesting effective practices beyond just funding.
Overall, schools in the Yuba City Unified district, like Butte Vista Elementary and Lincoln Elementary, show more moderate results. A strong connection exists between attendance and achievement, with schools having lower chronic absenteeism consistently performing better. The wide range in outcomes indicates that while some schools in the area are high-performing, others require significant support to help students reach state averages.
