Summary:

Dixon Unified has three elementary schools serving kindergarten through fifth grade: Tremont Elementary, Anderson (Linford L.) Elementary, and Gretchen Higgins Elementary; together, they enroll 1,309 students. In 2025–2026, the schools’ equal-weight average proficiency was 29% in English language arts (ELA), 25% in math, and 20% in science, compared with state averages of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The central takeaway is that all three schools were below the state average in every tested subject, with the largest area-wide gap in ELA: 20 percentage points.

Tremont led in all-grades results, with 35% in ELA, 31% in math, and 25% in science; its lead over the next-highest school was 1, 3, and 2 percentage points, respectively. Anderson was a close second overall, while Gretchen Higgins ranked lowest in all three subjects, at 20% in ELA, 15% in math, and 12% in science. Higgins trailed the average of the other two schools by 14 points in ELA, 14 in math, and 12 in science. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings likewise placed Tremont highest, at the 35th statewide percentile (2 stars), Anderson at the 29th (1 star), and Higgins at the 5th (0 stars). Anderson also stood out in fifth grade, leading in ELA at 44% and math at 30%; Tremont’s fifth-grade math was 15%, 24 points below its fourth-grade result.

Results have not kept pace with state gains: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the group’s gap widened from 18 to 20 points in ELA, 10 to 13 in math, and 10 to 16 in science. Higgins was an exception in ELA, improving by 1 point, but its science result fell by 7 points; SchoolDigger’s statewide percentiles also declined for all three schools between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026. For context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 63% at Tremont, 77% at Anderson, and 76% at Higgins. Student–teacher ratios ranged from 24.4 to 26.9; Anderson had the highest chronic absenteeism at 25%, versus 17% at Higgins and 18% statewide. These measures provide context, not an explanation for score differences.
