Summary

University Elementary at La Fiesta is a public K-5 school serving 291 students in the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District, and it stands out as a consistently improving school that effectively supports its students.

The school is on a strong upward trend, climbing to rank in the 63rd percentile of all California elementary schools, and it outperforms its own district in every core subject, especially leading in science proficiency. This improvement is notable because the school serves a population with significant economic need, yet it achieves better academic results than several nearby schools with similar or even fewer challenges, such as Marguerite Hahn Elementary and Evergreen Elementary. While it may not reach the performance levels of schools in higher-performing neighboring districts like Liberty Elementary, it is a top performer within its own district context, avoiding the severe performance swings seen at schools like Monte Vista Elementary.

Key strengths include exceptional performance in upper-grade math and science, a lower chronic absenteeism rate than the district average, and a model of resource use that yields strong outcomes. The school shows particular effectiveness in supporting its students, with dramatic improvements in scores for economically disadvantaged students over the past two years, making it a compelling option for families within the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified district.
