Summary

John Reed Primary is a public elementary school serving 376 students in grades K-5 within the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District in Rohnert Park, CA, and it currently faces significant academic challenges.

The school's academic performance is well below both district and state averages, with only 20% of students proficient in English and about 11% in math. It serves a community with very high economic need, with over 83% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with 27.8% of students missing too much school, which is higher than other schools in the area. While the school receives more funding per student than others in the district, it also has the largest class sizes.

Compared to nearby schools, the differences are stark. For example, Marguerite Hahn Elementary in the same district has significantly higher proficiency rates. Even Richard Crane Elementary, which also serves many students in need, performs better academically. This pattern suggests the district faces an equity challenge in supporting all its schools effectively. The school's statewide ranking has fallen sharply in recent years, indicating these issues require urgent attention from the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified district to improve outcomes for its students.
