Las Palmas Elementary

Patterson is a small agricultural city in the Central Valley where the pace is slower and the community ties run deep, but Las Palmas Elementary faces some real academic headwinds, with scores sitting in the lower ranges across English, math, and science. Families in this working-class community will want to be proactive about supplementing learning at home or through outside programs, especially in math where the school ranks in the 17th percentile statewide. That said, for families already rooted in Patterson, the school's tight-knit neighborhood feel and the broader district's ongoing improvement efforts may offer reasons for cautious optimism.
