Summary:
The Cuddeback Union Elementary district in rural Carlotta, California, consists of a single K-8 school, Cuddeback Elementary, serving 157 students.
Cuddeback Elementary stands out for its exceptionally strong student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 3%, far below the state average, and for its above-average performance in English and Math, particularly in the early grades. Third graders, for example, show notably high proficiency. The school has shown significant improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating in the latest state rankings.
While the school excels in early grades and attendance, performance tends to decline in the upper grades, especially in Science, which is an area for potential focus. The school serves a community with a high level of economic need, yet achieves these positive outcomes with a moderate student-teacher ratio and per-student spending, demonstrating effective use of resources within this small, rural district.
