Summary

Kawana Springs Elementary serves 328 students in grades K–6 in Santa Rosa’s Bellevue Union School District. Its 2025–26 results show science as a relative bright spot, but academic performance is a concern overall. Most importantly, it had the lowest English language arts and math proficiency among the six nearby K–6 schools with current all-grade results, and its scores were below both district and state levels.

English language arts and math are the clearest weaknesses, while science is stronger relative to nearby schools. In 2025–26, 13% of Kawana students were proficient in English language arts, compared with 25% districtwide and 49% statewide; math proficiency was 14%, versus 21% in the district and 38% statewide. The nearby-school averages were 26% in English language arts and 22% in math, both above Kawana’s results. Science proficiency was 21% at Kawana, below the district’s 27% and the state’s 36%, but above the nearby-school average of 19%; it ranked third among the seven K–6 schools in that comparison.

Results have shifted over time: English language arts fell from 23% in 2022–23 to 13% in 2025–26, while math rose from 9% to 14% and science was nearly unchanged overall. Chronic absenteeism improved notably, dropping from 43% in 2021–22 to 16% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger ranked Kawana in the 4th percentile and gave it zero stars in 2025–26; its percentile was 39 in 2016–17. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 20.5, lower than most nearby schools, and 62% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. These are useful context measures, but they do not explain the test results.
