Summary:
The city of Carlotta, California, is served by a single public school, Cuddeback Elementary, a K-8 school in the Cuddeback Union Elementary district that provides education for 157 local students.
Cuddeback Elementary shows notable strengths, including outperforming state averages in English and Math and demonstrating remarkable improvement, jumping from the 45th to the 64th percentile in statewide rankings in just one year. A particularly standout feature is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 3.0%, far below the state average, which indicates strong student engagement and a positive school environment.
While the school performs well overall, performance varies significantly by grade, with third graders excelling but middle school grades showing lower proficiency, suggesting a potential area for focused support. The school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are solid, and it serves a community where a majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, making its academic achievements and low absenteeism especially commendable.
