Summary

Mary Peacock Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 251 students in Crescent City, part of the Del Norte County Unified district, and has shown notable improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years.

While academic performance is below state averages, the school has important strengths, particularly in mathematics and science where it outperforms the district average. It also shows a very positive trend in student attendance, having significantly reduced chronic absenteeism. Compared to its closest neighbors like Bess Maxwell Elementary, Pine Grove Elementary, and Joe Hamilton Elementary, Mary Peacock is the strongest performer academically. The school also benefits from higher per-student spending than most other schools in the area.

The data reveals some areas for focus, including a significant performance gap between female and male students. Encouragingly, fifth-grade students show relative strength, suggesting good preparation for middle school. However, gains have not been consistent for all student groups, as performance for students from low-income families has declined recently. Overall, the school is on an upward trajectory, making measurable progress in key areas while working to address persistent challenges.
