Summary:
The Raymond-Knowles Union Elementary district consists of a single, small rural school, Raymond-Knowles Elementary, which serves 88 students in grades K-8 in Raymond, California.
Raymond-Knowles Elementary presents a mixed academic picture, with notable strengths in its upper grades but significant challenges overall. While the school's 8th graders perform well above state averages in both English and Math, the school's overall proficiency rates in English, Math, and especially Science fall below state averages. A major concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 33.7%, which is substantially higher than the state average and likely impacts student learning.
Parents should note that the school serves a community with significant economic need, and it maintains a moderate class size. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, currently placing in the 46th percentile. The standout performance of 8th graders suggests strong preparation at that level, but the lower scores in earlier grades and in science indicate areas where the school is working to improve. The high rate of student absenteeism is a critical factor that the school and district must address to help all students succeed.
