Elementary Schools in Salinas City Elementary

Summary:

The Salinas City Elementary School District in California operates 15 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 1305 out of 1568 districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. However, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools, with some standout performers and others struggling to meet state and district averages.

Among the top-performing schools are Lincoln Elementary, which boasts proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are well above the district and state averages. Mission Park Elementary and University Park Elementary also demonstrate strong academic performance. In contrast, schools like Sherwood Elementary and Loma Vista Elementary have proficiency rates that are significantly lower than the district and state averages.

The data also highlights concerns around chronic absenteeism, with the district average rate of 27.9% being higher than the state average. However, Boronda Elementary stands out with a much lower chronic absenteeism rate of 7.8%. Additionally, the presence of Salinas City Virtual Academy provides an alternative learning option for families, with its relatively strong performance compared to the district average.
