Summary:
Willits Elementary Charter District contains a single elementary school, Willits Elementary Charter, serving grades K-5 for about 140 students in Willits, California.
This charter school shows a significant mix of strengths and challenges for parents to consider. Early grade performance is a notable positive, with 3rd graders scoring well above the state average in English Language Arts. However, the school faces serious difficulties in the upper grades, where 5th-grade proficiency rates in both math and English fall dramatically below state averages, and science proficiency is critically low across the board. The school's statewide ranking has also declined steadily over the past three years.
Other important factors include a chronic absenteeism rate that is higher than the state average, and over half of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. While per-student funding and class sizes are generally in line with state averages, the data suggests families should investigate how the school supports students as they progress to higher grades and addresses consistent student attendance.
