Elementary Schools in Maxwell Unified

Maxwell Unified School District contains one elementary school, Maxwell Elementary, a small rural school serving grades K-5 in the Maxwell Unified district.

Maxwell Elementary stands out for its strong student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate significantly better than the state average, and for outperforming its own district in English and Math. Despite serving a community with high economic need, the school's performance in these core subjects is close to or above state averages, and its statewide ranking has improved recently. This indicates a generally effective learning environment for students in reading and mathematics.

The most notable area for improvement is in science, where student proficiency is much lower than in other subjects and below both district and state averages. Performance also tends to dip in 5th grade. Parents should know that while the school is achieving solid results in key areas, there is a clear opportunity for growth in science education, which the district will likely need to address through targeted support and curriculum review.
