Elementary Schools in Rincon Valley Union Elementary

Summary:

The Rincon Valley Union Elementary district in Santa Rosa consists of nine elementary schools (mostly K-6, with one K-8 charter) that together rank in the top third of California districts, with most schools outperforming state averages in English, math, and science.

Performance varies significantly across the district. Austin Creek Elementary stands out as the top performer with exceptional test scores and the district's best attendance, while Sequoia Elementary also achieves strong, consistent results. In contrast, Manzanita Elementary Charter and Whited Elementary Charter face greater academic challenges and have higher rates of student poverty.

A key finding is the strong link between chronic absenteeism and school performance; the highest-ranked schools have the best attendance. The district's most notable outlier is Rincon Valley Partnership, which spends over three times more per student than other schools but has an absenteeism rate more than double the district average, though its academic data is unavailable for comparison.
