Summary:
The Raymond-Knowles Union Elementary district consists of a single, small K-8 school, Raymond-Knowles Elementary, serving 88 students in a rural area.
Raymond-Knowles Elementary shows a notable mix of challenges and strengths in its academic performance. Overall, test scores in English, math, and science are below state averages, with science proficiency being a particular area for improvement. However, the school's 8th graders are a standout, performing significantly above state averages in both English and math, which is a positive sign of effective preparation for high school.
Key factors for families to consider include the school's very high chronic absenteeism rate, which is much higher than the state average and can impact learning, and its small size, which allows for more individual attention but limits program variety. The school spends above the national average per student, and while it serves a community with high economic need, its 8th-grade results demonstrate clear potential for student success.
