Summary:
These two schools in the Cinnabar Elementary area serve kindergarten through grade 6 overall: Cinnabar Charter serves K–6, while Cinnabar Elementary serves kindergarten only. The schools enroll 156 and 20 students, respectively, and have different attendance and school-setting measures. Only the Charter has reported test scores, so achievement cannot be compared between the two schools; its results are substantially below state levels in English and math.
Among the reported results, grade 5 stands out as the Charter’s strongest grade relative to the state, while lower grades show weaker outcomes. In 2025–2026, all-grades proficiency was 30% in English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA), 19% in math, and 29% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%—gaps of 19, 20, and 7 percentage points. In grade 5, ELA was 39% versus 49% statewide, and math was 25% versus 37%, gaps of 10 and 12 points. Results varied considerably across grades 3–6: ELA ranged from 16% in grade 4 to 39% in grade 5, while math ranged from 5% in grade 6 to 25% in grade 5. The smaller science gap is a relative strength, but neither school’s position against the other can be established from the available scores.
Results changed unevenly over time: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the Charter’s science proficiency rose 13 points and its gap with the state narrowed from 16 to 7 points; math rose 2 points and its gap narrowed from 21 to 20. ELA slipped by less than 1 point as the state rose by less than 1, widening the gap from 18 to 19 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking history also improved modestly overall, but not steadily: the Charter moved from the 15th percentile to the 19th and then the 17th percentile. For context, in 2024–2025 its student-teacher ratio was 16.4 and 83% were free/reduced lunch eligible; at the kindergarten school, the ratio was 20.0 and 65% were free/reduced lunch eligible. Both eligibility measures are for 2024–2025.
