Summary

Ron Nunn Elementary is a well-regarded K-5 public school serving 702 students in the Brentwood Union School District, consistently performing above state averages and ranking in the top third of all California elementary schools.

The school excels in several key areas, particularly in supporting specific student groups like those in special education, and has made impressive strides in improving student attendance, now boasting one of the lowest chronic absenteeism rates in the district. Academically, Ron Nunn Elementary is a strong performer, often ranking second or third among its Brentwood Union peers in English and Math, and it achieves these solid outcomes efficiently despite having a slightly higher student-teacher ratio than some neighboring schools like Marsh Creek Elementary.

When compared to schools in the neighboring Antioch Unified district, such as Carmen Dragon Elementary, the performance gap is notable, with Ron Nunn ranking significantly higher. However, the school faces its own challenges, including a noticeable dip in 4th-grade math scores and varying performance levels among different student groups, which have contributed to a slight recent decline in its overall state ranking.
