Summary:
The Twin Hills Union Elementary district in Sebastopol consists of four 4-star schools serving about 1,000 students from kindergarten through twelfth grade, with all schools outperforming state averages in core academic subjects.
Among the schools, Twin Hills Charter Middle stands out for its strong statewide ranking and test scores, particularly in English and Math. Orchard View, the district's K-12 alternative school, shows remarkable strengths with a perfect attendance record, the highest graduation rate, and the strongest science scores, all while operating with the lowest per-student spending. The elementary schools, Apple Blossom and Sunridge Charter, also perform well, with Sunridge maintaining strong English scores despite having a higher student-teacher ratio.
Key takeaways for parents include the district's overall academic strength and the variety of successful school models, from traditional to charter and alternative programs. Noteworthy variations exist, such as the wide range in chronic absenteeism rates between schools and significant differences in per-student funding, with the highest-funded school not necessarily producing the strongest outcomes in every metric. The consistency in 4-star ratings across all schools suggests a maintained standard of quality throughout the district.
