Summary:
The Big Oak Flat-Groveland Unified school district has only one elementary school, Tenaya Elementary, serving students in the area. Tenaya Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, now ranking 3977 out of 5862 California elementary schools with a 2-star rating.
Tenaya Elementary's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 14.29% to 50% in ELA/Literacy and 4.76% to 42.11% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 42.8% to 47.37% in ELA/Literacy and 33.83% to 45.64% in Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 48.5%, which may be contributing to the academic challenges.
Tenaya Elementary also serves a student population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 58.1% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests the need for additional resources and support to address educational inequities and improve student learning outcomes at the school.
