That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Oak Valley Union Elementary-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary.

Oak Valley Union Elementary has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 64.3% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015).

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
