Summary

Rose Avenue Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 561 students in the Modesto City Elementary district, which faces systemic academic challenges across the area.

Academically, Rose Avenue performs near the district average but below state standards, with about one-third of students proficient in English and one-quarter in math. Its performance has declined over the past decade, and there are significant inconsistencies between grade levels. A key strength is its program for English Language Learners, which has been notably effective. However, support for Special Education students has recently become a serious concern. Chronic student absenteeism, while improved from pandemic highs, remains above average and is a barrier to progress.

Comparisons with nearby schools reveal stark differences. For instance, Lakewood Elementary, less than two miles away, has much higher test scores and a far lower absenteeism rate. Rose Avenue's per-student spending is slightly below some higher-performing neighbors like El Vista Elementary, and it has a higher student-teacher ratio than schools like Sylvan Elementary. The school's progress in improving attendance and its success with English Learners are positive foundations it can build upon.
