Summary

Fred T. Korematsu Elementary at Mace Ranch is a K-6 school serving 509 students in the high-performing Davis Joint Unified district, though its academic results have gradually declined relative to other California schools over the past decade.

Within the Davis district, Korematsu's academic performance is below average, particularly in mathematics and science, and it has a higher rate of chronic absenteeism than schools like Cesar Chavez Elementary and Robert E. Willett Elementary. The school serves a significant number of economically disadvantaged students, and its effectiveness with this group has declined sharply in recent years, coinciding with an increase in students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Performance varies notably by grade, with strong 3rd-grade results but a significant drop in 4th grade, suggesting potential challenges with curriculum or instruction in the upper elementary years.

Despite its struggles compared to other Davis schools, Korematsu generally outperforms elementary schools in neighboring districts like Washington Unified and Woodland Joint Unified. It is part of a geographic cluster within Davis—along with Birch Lane Elementary and Marguerite Montgomery Elementary—where schools have higher poverty rates and lower test scores, indicating broader neighborhood factors may be at play. The school's per-student spending is comparable to other schools in its district but is significantly higher than in these neighboring districts.
