Summary

San Miguel Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 401 students in the Mark West Union Elementary district in Santa Rosa, recognized as a 4-star school performing well above state averages.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, with over 65% of students proficient in English and 55% in math, significantly outperforming both the state and other local schools like Mark West Elementary and John B. Riebli Elementary. It has shown consistent improvement, jumping to the 76th percentile statewide, and maintains an excellent attendance record with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.1%, which is less than half the rate of some nearby schools such as Steele Lane Elementary.

While the school excels in early grades, there is a noted dip in 5th-grade math and science scores, indicating an area for potential focus. Overall, San Miguel Elementary is a high-performing and improving leader within its district.
