Summary

Chico Country Day is a 585-student K–8 school in Chico, California, compared with nearby schools that mostly serve elementary grades. In 2024–2025, its results were above California’s statewide proficiency rates in English language arts (ELA), mathematics and science. Its clearest standout is ELA: 65% of students were proficient, 16 percentage points above the state and second among the 11 nearby schools.

ELA is the school’s strongest result against nearby peers: its proficiency was 17 points above their 47% average, and only Sierra View Elementary scored higher. Mathematics was also above the state, at 49% versus 37%, but ranked fourth among nearby schools. Science was 44% versus 33% statewide; it ranked sixth locally and was just 2 points above the nearby-school average, making it the least distinctive subject among the three. The supplied data include no achievement results for its own Chico Country Day District, and most nearby schools serve K–5, so district and like-for-like comparisons are unavailable.

Results have improved since 2022–2023, especially in mathematics: ELA rose 4 percentage points, mathematics 11 and science 3. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 75th percentile with four stars in 2024–2025, up from the 70th percentile two years earlier. Its student-teacher ratio was 22.5, among the highest locally, while 26% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in school year 2024–2025, the lowest reported share among nearby schools using that measure. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also show differences in how well it serves student groups: its White Students percentile was 47, 28 points below the overall 75; its Hispanic Students percentile was 62, after moving from 44 to 79 and then 62 over the last three reported years. Chronic absenteeism was 9% in 2024–2025, compared with 19% statewide.
