Summary

Mistletoe Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 682 students in Redding, California, operating within the Enterprise Elementary district, and it stands out for achieving strong academic results while serving a community where many families face economic challenges.

The school consistently performs above California state averages in English, Math, and especially Science, where its scores are notably high. A significant strength is its effective support for specific student groups, such as Hispanic students and those from low-income families, who perform very well here compared to state averages. Furthermore, the school has made impressive strides in improving student attendance, dramatically reducing chronic absenteeism over the past few years. This success is achieved with moderate per-student spending compared to some neighboring schools like Alta Mesa Elementary and Rother Elementary, which spend more for lower overall performance rankings.

When compared to nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Shasta Meadows Elementary, Mistletoe ranks significantly higher. Within its own district, it is a top performer alongside Boulder Creek Elementary, though Boulder Creek has a lower rate of student poverty. Areas for growth include strengthening middle-grade math scores, which see a dip in the upper grades. Overall, Mistletoe Elementary demonstrates that a school can deliver excellent and efficient education regardless of its students' socioeconomic background.
