Grow Academy Arvin

Grow Academy Arvin is a public charter school in the Bakersfield–Arvin area of California that serves students in kindergarten through grade 8. The school has between 750 and 820 students and a student-teacher ratio of about 25 to 26 to 1, which is higher than the average for California elementary and middle schools. The school focuses on teaching the basics of reading and writing, as well as structured classroom routines and extra help for students who are having trouble. The majority of students at Grow Academy Arvin are Hispanic, with about 95–97% of them being Hispanic. This is similar to the demographics of the area. Publicly available academic data shows that only about 21–22% of students are good at math and only about 35–37% are good at English Language Arts (ELA). This is below the state average and shows that students are still having trouble in school. Per-pupil spending is usually in line with what state-funded public charter schools spend, with money going to teachers and student support services. The Arvin area is known for its lower-cost housing and working-class community. Overall, Grow Academy Arvin's strengths are its focus on the community and its structured approach to learning. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to academic outcomes.

The City of Arvin is thinking about building a new sports complex next to Grow Academy Arvin's campus. This would include soccer fields, hardtops, and P.E. facilities. The idea was brought up at a recent public planning hearing to improve the sports and physical education facilities for students.
