Summary:
This analysis covers one elementary school, Fieldbrook Elementary, a K-8 school serving 90 students in its own district in McKinleyville, California.
Fieldbrook Elementary shows a notable mix of strengths and challenges. A key strength is its 4th grade English Language Arts performance, where students score well above the state average. The school also maintains a chronic absenteeism rate better than the state's, indicating good student attendance. However, the school's overall statewide ranking has declined significantly over the past two years, dropping from the 76th to the 47th percentile. Academic performance is uneven, with science scores notably below the state average, while math and overall English Language Arts scores are slightly below.
For parents, this school presents a specific academic profile within the Fieldbrook Elementary district. The recent ranking drop is a significant change that warrants attention, though the school continues to demonstrate areas of excellence, particularly in certain grades. With a moderate economic profile and a favorable student-teacher ratio, the school has foundational resources. The primary considerations are the declining relative performance and the need to address specific subject areas like science, balanced against the clear successes in attendance and specific grade-level achievement.
