Summary

Kimball Elementary is a public K-5 school serving about 450 students in the Antioch Unified district, operating in a community with significant economic need where most students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces considerable challenges, ranking in the bottom 10% of all California elementary schools with proficiency rates in English, math, and science far below state averages; a major contributing factor is a chronic absenteeism rate of nearly 40%, which is double the district average and triple the state average. Performance has shown a concerning downward trend in recent years, with particularly sharp declines noted for students in special education and African American student subgroups, indicating inconsistent support systems.

When compared to nearby schools, Kimball Elementary performs similarly to other traditional district schools like Marsh Elementary and Fremont Elementary, but significantly lower than higher-performing schools like Muir (John) Elementary and the local charter schools, including Antioch Charter Academy and Rocketship Delta Prep, which have much lower absenteeism and better academic results despite similar or lower per-student spending.
