Summary

Cordelia Hills Elementary is a public elementary school in Fairfield, California, serving 756 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District, which is ranked 951 out of 1,565 school districts in the state.

Cordelia Hills Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in 5th grade where 70.73% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, and 56.1% were proficient or better in Mathematics. The school's performance is strong for Hispanic and African American students, as well as students with special needs and low socioeconomic status, suggesting a focus on equity and inclusion. However, the school's performance for Asian and White students is relatively weaker, indicating a need to address potential achievement gaps.

While Cordelia Hills Elementary generally outperforms nearby schools in the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District, its performance is not as strong as some of the higher-performing schools in the Benicia Unified School District, such as Matthew Turner Elementary and Joe Henderson Elementary. Additionally, the school has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting its overall academic performance and is an area that could be addressed to improve student outcomes.

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

This is an AMAZING school for all of these reasons, devoted teachers who are well trained and have great control over the class room, various teaching methods, a PTA that is supported by every parent or both parents, a principal that is completely involved in the day to day operations, she really values each and every child's education and meets each one individually where they are to make their learning experience the best possible, keeps the family updated on day to day operation of the school via home phone calls personally, she is ever present in the school and each child knows her personally, she is like the Mother of Cordelia Hills Elementary, she attends every meeting, welcomes every child the first day of school and the families, she is a awesome principal,she instills the love of learning by her own enthusiasm, she knows each and every family and goes above and beyond to make each family feel supported, children who want to learn and who come from families that teach the importance of kindness and how to act in class and with peers, a zero bullying policy, a outstanding commitment from parents to volunteer in every way possible, numerous extra curricular activities after school and during school, field trips, tons of activities that brings the families and children together such as "fitness nite" Trunk or Treat, Holiday Expo, Dine and Donate, arts and craft days, and so many more ......A wonderful school that really cares about your children, and welcomes you with open arms into the best school in the district. I have been in this district with my own children and nieces and nephews over the past 25 years and from my experience with having attended almost every school in the district, I say Cordelia Hills is hands down the VERY BEST.
