Better than 7% of California elementary schools

Summary

Tolenas Academy of Music and Media is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Fairfield, CA, with 535 students. The school is part of the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District, which is ranked 951 out of 1565 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Tolenas Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tolenas Academy significantly underperforms compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas on standardized assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, only 21.79% of Tolenas students were proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to 48.81% statewide, and only 13.13% were proficient in Math compared to 37.3% statewide. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 35.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,949 in 2023-2024) than the district and state averages, Tolenas Academy's academic outcomes have not improved.

In comparison, nearby schools in the same district, such as Crescent Elementary, Laurel Creek Elementary, and Dan O. Root Elementary, generally outperform Tolenas Academy across various metrics, including academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic status. Addressing the underlying issues at Tolenas Academy, such as student engagement, teacher retention, and overall school climate, will be crucial for improving the educational experiences and outcomes for the students.
