Summary

Anderson (Linford L.) Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 442 students in the Dixon Unified district, located in a community with significant economic need where over three-quarters of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school's test scores are below state averages, with about 35% of students proficient in English and 31% in math, placing it in the lower-middle tier of California elementary schools. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, with over 26% of students missing significant school, a rate much higher than the district and state averages. Compared to other schools in Dixon Unified, Anderson (Linford L.) Elementary performs in the middle, outperforming Gretchen Higgins Elementary but trailing Tremont Elementary.

Notably, the school's overall statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and there are significant performance differences among student groups, with effectiveness for Hispanic and Special Education students showing notable decreases. The school spends about $13,661 per student, which is less than most schools in the neighboring Davis Joint Unified district, where schools consistently achieve much higher academic rankings. Interestingly, the nearby Dixon Montessori Charter school, with similar per-student spending, achieves significantly higher academic results and has a very low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.3%.
