Summary:
Vineland Elementary is the sole elementary school located in the Vineland Elementary district in Bakersfield, California. This school serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade and has been struggling with declining performance over the past few years. With a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 5,569 out of 5,862 California elementary schools, Vineland Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students.
The school's academic performance is particularly concerning, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below the state averages. For example, in 3rd grade, Vineland Elementary's proficiency rate in ELA was 20.9%, compared to the state average of 42.8%, and in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was just 12.86%, compared to the state average of 45.64%. This trend has persisted over the past two school years, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and achievement.
Additionally, Vineland Elementary faces high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 26.8% of students missing a significant amount of school in the 2022-2023 school year. This, combined with the school's socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by 100% of students being eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that the community served by Vineland Elementary may require additional resources and support to address the barriers to student success.
