Summary

John Reed Primary is a K–5 school in Rohnert Park, California, serving 376 students in the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified area. In 2025–26, proficiency rates were 22% in English language arts (ELA), 20% in math, and 12% in science—below both the state and district in every subject. The most important finding is that its results point to a broad achievement gap, not just a weakness in one subject.

Compared with five nearby K–5 schools, John Reed Primary was lowest in ELA and science and second-lowest in math. Those peers averaged 42% in ELA, 32% in math, and 36% in science, putting John Reed Primary 20, 13, and 24 percentage points below those averages, respectively. Math is its relative bright spot: the school’s 20% rate was 7 points below the district and 19 below the state, compared with gaps of 20 and 27 points in ELA, and 16 and 24 points in science. Within the school, fourth grade had the strongest results in both tested subjects, while fifth-grade math was a particular concern: 12% proficient, compared with 37% statewide and 20% districtwide.

Science has weakened most over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, its proficiency rate fell 10 points while the state rate rose, widening the gap by 16 points. ELA fell 6 points over that period; math rose 3 points, though its state gap widened slightly. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 9th statewide percentile with 0 stars in 2025–26, the lowest current percentile among nearby schools with a rank, though up from the 5th percentile the prior year. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 26.8, higher than all five nearby K–5 peers, and 84% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the highest rate among nearby schools reporting the same measure and year. One relative strength in SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings is for Special Education Students: the group ranked at the 24th percentile in 2025–26, 15 points above the school’s overall standing, though both were below the state midpoint.
