Summary

Rosedale Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 563 students in the Chico Unified School District, consistently earning a 3-star rating that places it solidly in the middle of all California schools.

The school's standout strength is its exceptional attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 4%, which is the lowest among all nearby schools by a wide margin and shows a remarkable commitment from its school community. Academically, Rosedale performs well in mathematics, scoring above both district and state averages, and it does this while spending the least amount per student of any Chico Unified school in the area, suggesting very efficient operations. It compares favorably to schools with similar student populations, like Emma Wilson Elementary, and outperforms others such as Chapman Elementary and Citrus Avenue Elementary.

While Rosedale maintains solid overall performance, its test scores have shown some recent fluctuation, and it faces the common challenge of ensuring all student groups perform at similarly high levels. The school has demonstrated particular excellence in supporting its Special Education students. When compared to local charter options like Chico Country Day or Sherwood Montessori, Rosedale offers a strong public school alternative with an unmatched record of student attendance and engagement.
