Summary:
Cobb, California, has one listed school, Cobb Mountain Elementary, serving kindergarten through fifth grade with 110 students. With no other listed local schools, families can’t compare schools against one another; the most important finding is the sharp difference between the school’s stronger third- and fourth-grade results and its much weaker fifth-grade results.
Within the school, third and fourth grade stand out, while fifth grade is the clearest low point. In ELA, third grade scored 59% proficient, 15 percentage points above California, and fourth grade scored 53%, 7 points above; fifth grade scored 32%, 18 points below the state. In math, third and fourth grade were 12 and 10 points above the state, while fifth grade was 16 points below. Across all grades, math was the school’s strongest subject relative to California: 45% proficient, 7 points above the state and 10 above Middletown Unified. Science was the clearest overall weakness at 26%, 10 points below the state and essentially level with the district. ELA was close to the state average at 48%.
Results improved substantially year over year in ELA and math, but not science. ELA rose 20 percentage points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and math rose 13 points, moving from 5 points below California to 7 points above; science fell 1 point, widening its gap from 5 to 10 points below the state. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 59th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 34th percentile and 2 stars the prior year. Attendance is a concern: chronic absenteeism was 38%, versus 25% in the district and 18% statewide. In 2024–2025, the school had a 24.7 students-per-teacher ratio, and 46% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible.
