Summary:
The city of Rodeo, California has only one public school serving grades K-5: Rodeo Hills Elementary. This school faces significant challenges, with academic performance well below state averages and a high rate of chronic absenteeism among its diverse student population, of which 78.46% are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Rodeo Hills Elementary's standardized test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently lower than the state averages across multiple grade levels. For example, in 5th grade, only 12.37% of students are proficient in Mathematics compared to the state average of 33.38%. The school's performance on the California Science Test is also below the state average, with only 18.56% of 5th graders meeting proficiency standards compared to 31.86% statewide. This underperformance suggests the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Additionally, Rodeo Hills Elementary faces significant challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with 41.3% of students missing a substantial amount of instructional time. This high rate of chronic absenteeism, coupled with the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, likely contributes to the academic struggles observed. The school is ranked in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools by SchoolDigger, with a 1-star rating out of 5, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students of John Swett Unified school district.
