Summary

Manor Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving 234 students in Fairfax, California, as part of the high-performing Ross Valley Elementary district.

The school is a standout success story, showing remarkable improvement since the pandemic. Its statewide ranking jumped from the 76th to the 95th percentile in just two years, now placing it among California's top elementary schools. Academically, students are thriving, with over 80% proficient in English and over 75% in Math, far exceeding state averages. A key factor in this turnaround has been a dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which has fallen from over 30% to just over 9%, bringing the school in line with its district peers.

Within its own Ross Valley Elementary district, Manor Elementary serves the highest percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, yet it achieves a higher ranking (95th percentile) than Brookside Elementary (89th percentile). This demonstrates particularly effective educational practices. Comparisons with nearby schools highlight stark disparities; just a few miles away, Ross Elementary ranks in the 100th percentile, while Venetia Valley K-8 ranks in the 25th. The school also outperforms the local Ross Valley Charter, which has similar demographics but a lower ranking and less funding per student.
