Coyote Ridge Elementary

Coyote Ridge Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 815 students in Roseville, California, as part of the Dry Creek Joint Elementary district, known for solid academic performance that consistently exceeds state averages.

The school demonstrates notable strengths, particularly in supporting Hispanic students and English Learners, where its performance ranks exceptionally high compared to similar schools across California. It also shows strong results for students with disabilities and has made significant progress in reducing chronic absenteeism since the pandemic. Academically, the school excels in upper-grade English Language Arts and science, with fifth-grade science scores notably above both district and state averages. However, a review of recent trends shows the school's overall statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, coinciding with an increase in the number of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and it faces a significant challenge in addressing the needs of its Asian student population, where performance is much lower.

When compared to nearby schools, Coyote Ridge outperforms others with similar student demographics, such as Antelope Meadows Elementary and Oak Hill Elementary, but lags behind more affluent schools like Quail Glen Elementary. Interestingly, schools in the neighboring Roseville City Elementary district, such as William Kaseberg Elementary, often achieve higher proficiency rates despite sometimes serving a similar population, suggesting district-level policies and resources play a key role. Furthermore, Coyote Ridge receives less funding per student than some other schools in its own district, like Creekview Ranch, despite having greater economic need.
