Summary

Coral Mountain Academy is a K–6 elementary school serving 815 students in Coachella, in the Coachella Valley. Its results show a clear mixed picture: in 2025–2026, students were more likely to be proficient than students across Coachella Valley Unified in all three tested subjects, but less likely than students statewide. The central finding is that the school beats its district in ELA, math and science, yet remains 11–15 percentage points below California in every subject.

Science is Coral Mountain’s strongest subject compared with nearby same-district K–6 schools: its 21% proficiency rate ranked second of seven, while its 27% in math ranked fifth and 37% in ELA ranked fourth. The school was above its district by 5 points in ELA, 7 in math and 6 in science. Compared with the state, however, it was 12 points lower in ELA, 11 in math and 15 in science. Grade-level results point to a specific concern: sixth-grade math was the lowest among the seven nearby schools, while fifth-grade math was second-highest locally.

ELA has improved steadily, rising from 32% in 2022–2023 to 37% in 2025–2026. Math gained 6 points over those four years but fell 4 points in the latest year; science rose from 17% to 21% overall, with larger year-to-year swings. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling 12 points from 2021–2022, though the latest 27% rate remains above the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger ranked Coral Mountain 3,928 of 5,804 California schools in 2025–2026, at the 32nd percentile and 2 stars. Its 23.8 student–teacher ratio was the second-highest among nearby same-district schools. The school’s reported measure was 83% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings show a notable contrast: English Language Learner Students ranked at the 69th percentile in 2023–2024, versus 34th overall, while Special Education Students ranked at the 1st percentile in 2025–2026, versus 32nd overall.
