Summary

Cordova Villa Elementary is a K–5 school in Rancho Cordova, serving 475 students in the Folsom-Cordova Unified area. Its 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency was about 20% in English/language arts (ELA), 17% in math and 19% in science. The most important finding for families is that results are well below state and district levels, especially in ELA and math.

Science is the school’s strongest subject in comparisons with nearby schools, while ELA is its clearest weakness. ELA proficiency was about 20%, compared with 33% across the 10 nearby schools, 49% statewide and 59% in the district. Math was 17%, below the nearby average of 27%, the state’s 38% and the district’s 49%. Science was 19%—still below the nearby average of 23%, the state’s 36% and the district’s 47%, but closer to nearby results than the other subjects. Among the 11 schools compared, Cordova Villa had the lowest ELA result, the third-lowest math result and a science result near the middle. Fourth grade stands out as a particular challenge: ELA proficiency was 12% and math was 10%, both well below the school’s third-grade results.

Results have improved over the longer term in math and especially science, but all three subjects fell from their 2024–2025 highs. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math rose about 5 points and science about 16 points, while ELA was nearly flat; chronic absenteeism also fell from 48% to 25%, though only one nearby school had a higher latest rate. SchoolDigger ranks the school in the 9th percentile statewide (5,296 of 5,804) and gives it zero stars for 2025–2026, down from the 22nd percentile the year before. In 2024–2025, its student-teacher ratio was 20.9, slightly above the nearby-school average of 20.2, and 86% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. A notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves Homeless Students was at the 89th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 22nd percentile.
