Summary:
Cobb, California is served by one public school, Cobb Mountain Elementary, a K-6 school with 110 students in the Middletown Unified district.
Parents should be aware that the school faces a significant challenge with student attendance, as its chronic absenteeism rate of 32.5% is much higher than the state average, which can directly impact learning. Academically, the school's test scores are below state averages, with the largest gap in English Language Arts. However, performance varies widely by grade; for instance, 3rd-grade math scores meet district and exceed state averages, while 5th-grade math scores are significantly lower, indicating inconsistent experiences across different classrooms.
The school has a high student-to-teacher ratio and nearly half of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. While its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, the presence of strong performance in specific grades shows the potential for success. For families, understanding the attendance issue and the variability in academic results between grade levels will be key when considering this small, rural school.
