Strawberry Elementary

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Strawberry Elementary is a consistently strong-performing middle school serving about 365 students in grades 4-6 within the Bennett Valley Union Elementary district in Santa Rosa, achieving solid academic results with efficient operations.

Academically, the school outperforms state averages across all subjects, with a notable 63% of students proficient in English Language Arts compared to the state's 49%, and it maintains this balanced strength in math and science as well. A key factor in this success appears to be the school's remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 10%, which is nearly half the state average and significantly better than many nearby middle schools like Hilliard Comstock Middle (33%) and Santa Rosa Middle (28%). Furthermore, Strawberry Elementary achieves these outcomes while spending less per student than many comparable schools, such as Technology Middle.

While schools like Hillcrest Middle and Santa Rosa Accelerated Charter post higher test scores, Strawberry Elementary stands out for its stable, well-rounded performance and effective management. The school has shown strong recovery from pandemic disruptions, with attendance improving and academics holding steady. For parents, this paints a picture of a reliable, efficient school that successfully supports its students' learning and attendance.
