Summary

Coyle Avenue Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 331 students in Carmichael, California, within the San Juan Unified School District, which is currently facing significant academic challenges.

The school's academic performance is among the lowest in the state, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science far below district and state averages, and it has the highest rate of chronic absenteeism among nearby San Juan Unified schools. This represents a sharp decline from past years. A particularly striking comparison is with Cambridge Heights Elementary, located just over a mile away, which achieves much stronger results with a similar student population, demonstrating that demographic challenges do not predetermine outcomes.

Despite having the highest per-student spending among comparable schools in the district, Coyle Avenue produces the lowest results, raising questions about how resources are used. A notable strength is its performance with Special Education students, which has been relatively strong, suggesting effective supports for this group. The school's struggles are most pronounced in upper-grade math and science, and its post-pandemic recovery has lagged behind other schools. For context, nearby schools like Charles Peck Elementary and Albert Schweitzer Elementary perform better despite similar challenges, indicating that school-level practices are a key factor.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, November 8, 2016

I wish I could give less than one star. Although the investigation into this school has barely begun, it is my belief, that there is an acceptable culture of abuse by teachers on the special education students. It's a terrible thing to have to consider that the school you entrusted with the care of your special needs child, would rather further victimize the children rather than accept responsibility for actions! Parents, talk to you children, ask then if they know what "holding" is that a certain teachers threatens and inflicts upon them. If they are able to tell you what it is, please contact law enforcement! It's abuse! Close Quote
