Summary:
The Rio Dell Elementary district in Rio Dell, California, consists of two schools, Eagle Prairie Elementary (grades K-5) and Monument Middle (grades 6-8), which together serve 314 students on a shared campus.
Eagle Prairie Elementary is a standout school showing remarkable improvement, now ranking in the top quarter of all California elementary schools. Its students perform well above state averages in English and Math, with fourth graders achieving particularly high scores. In contrast, Monument Middle faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency rates far below state and district averages, placing it in the bottom quarter of state middle schools.
The most pressing issue for the Rio Dell Elementary district is the dramatic drop in student performance between elementary and middle school. Despite similar resources, the two schools have vastly different outcomes. Parents should note this sharp transition, though the district's overall ranking is an average that masks the strong performance at the elementary level and the significant struggles at the middle school.
