Summary

Cordova Villa Elementary is a public K-5 school serving about 475 students in Rancho Cordova, California, as part of the Folsom-Cordova Unified School District, but it faces significant challenges with student attendance and academic performance compared to other schools in the area.

The school's chronic absenteeism rate, at over 30%, is one of the highest among nearby schools and is a major concern, as regular attendance is crucial for learning. Academically, test scores in English, math, and science are below both district and state averages, though there are signs of recent improvement from a very low point a few years ago. It's notable that the school spends more per student than many peers, including Peter J. Shields Elementary and Navigator Elementary, which achieve better results, suggesting how resources are used is key.

Interesting comparisons show that within the same district, outcomes vary widely; for instance, Navigator Elementary, less than a mile away, has better academic results. A bright spot is the school's reported effectiveness in supporting homeless students. The analysis suggests that addressing attendance is a critical need, and the school's recent upward trend, while from a low base, indicates potential for continued progress.
