Summary

Taylor (Ida Redmond) Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 849 students in the Santa Maria-Bonita School District, which is ranked in the bottom 9% of all districts in California.

The school faces significant academic challenges, currently ranking in the 13th percentile statewide, a notable decline from five years ago. While it spends more per student ($21,265) than most nearby schools and has a favorable student-teacher ratio, its proficiency rates in English (24%), math (19%), and science (12%) are middling. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, which at 16.8% is higher than the district average and most peers, though it has improved dramatically from pandemic-era spikes. The school shows particular difficulty in serving special education students, ranking in the bottom 7% statewide for that subgroup.

Interesting comparisons within the district reveal that outcomes can vary widely even among schools with similar high-poverty student populations. For example, Ontiveros (Juan Pacifico) Elementary achieves substantially higher academic results (46th percentile) with similar spending and demographics, suggesting that factors like instructional practices or school culture can make a significant difference. Taylor's historical performance decline despite increased resources indicates a need for strategic improvements in instruction and attendance interventions to better support its students.
