Summary

Dixon Montessori Charter is a K-8 public charter school serving 471 students in Dixon, CA, and has shown significant improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating since 2019 while serving a diverse community.

The school stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.3%, which is dramatically better than the state average and all nearby schools, including Cesar Chavez Elementary (6.1%) and Robert E. Willett Elementary (9.1%). Academically, it consistently outperforms the state average in English, math, and science, and shows remarkable strength in middle school grades. This performance is particularly notable compared to other schools in the Dixon Unified district, where proficiency rates are significantly lower.

Operating under the higher-ranked Dixon Montessori Charter District, the school achieves these results with relatively modest per-student spending. While it may not match the absolute test scores of some top-performing schools in the wealthier Davis Joint Unified district, it demonstrates a strong pattern of student growth from elementary to middle school and provides a high-quality educational alternative in the area.
