How Clovis Global Academy compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Clovis Global Academy
Clovis Global Academy is a higher-need, mid-sized charter elementary school in Clovis, California, enrolling 317 students.
Class loads run heavy: 31.7:1 is larger than about 97% of California schools and 47% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 53.3% lands close to the California typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 317 puts it in the smaller third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index sits near the middle of the pack among 9,998 scored California schools.
Against 1,004 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks in the upper tier at #275.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (59%) and Asian (28%) (diversity index 57/100).
Attendance holds up well here: only 9.5% of students were chronically absent, below the typical post-pandemic national figure.
Its district draws 24.5% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Clovis's elementary schools, it stands alongside Dry Creek Elementary (939 students): Clovis Global Academy is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (31.7:1 vs 25.4:1).
Clovis Global Academy District is a single-school charter district, so Clovis Global Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
