Summary

Evergreen Elementary is a public K-4 school serving 541 students in Cottonwood, CA, within the Evergreen Union district, and it stands out for achieving strong academic results while serving a community with significant economic need.

The school consistently outperforms state averages in both English and Math, and it has made remarkable progress in improving student attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism by nearly half in recent years. Compared to nearby schools like Anderson Heights Elementary and Meadow Lane Elementary, Evergreen achieves better academic outcomes with lower per-student spending. While Bend Elementary, another school in the same district, has higher test scores, it serves a smaller, less economically disadvantaged student body with more resources per child.

An interesting point for parents is the school's notable success in supporting male students and students from low-income families. However, the data shows a significant drop in proficiency between 3rd and 4th grade, which the school is likely addressing. Overall, Evergreen Elementary is on a positive trajectory, improving its statewide ranking and demonstrating effective use of resources to support its students' success.
