Summary

Chico Country Day is a well-regarded K-8 public school serving 585 students in Chico, CA, consistently ranking in the top 25% of all California schools and outperforming state averages in every core subject.

The school stands out for its exceptionally low rate of chronic student absenteeism—less than half the state average—and its strong, consistent academic results, particularly in English Language Arts. It achieves these outcomes while spending significantly less per student than many neighboring schools in the Chico Unified district, such as Neal Dow Elementary and Chapman Elementary. Furthermore, the school serves students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds more effectively than most schools in the state, with its performance in this area notably stronger than at nearby schools with higher poverty rates.

While Chico Country Day's math scores are solid, they tend to be strongest in the early grades. A top local comparison is Sierra View Elementary, which posts slightly higher test scores but serves only K-5 and has a different student population. As part of the highly-rated Chico Country Day District, the school offers a stable, high-performing K-8 option that balances academic achievement with notable operational efficiency.
