Summary

Kenwood Elementary is a small, high-performing public school serving 124 students in grades K-6 in the rural community of Kenwood, California.

This school consistently earns strong 4-star ratings and significantly outperforms state averages in all subjects, especially in Science where its proficiency rate doubles the state average. It achieves these results despite a moderate level of economic need among its students, performing much better than nearby schools like Whited Elementary Charter and Manzanita Elementary Charter which have similar challenges. The school has also shown impressive recovery from pandemic disruptions, dramatically reducing chronic student absenteeism to a rate well below the state average, unlike schools such as Rincon Valley Partnership.

Kenwood Elementary benefits from being part of the highly-ranked Kenwood School District and has substantial per-student funding. While its overall performance is excellent, there is variability between grade levels, with fourth-grade scores notably lower than other grades. The school is a standout in its area, though the exceptional performance of Austin Creek Elementary—which achieves even higher results with less funding—suggests there are always opportunities to learn and improve.
