Better than 5% of California elementary schools

Summary

Burns Valley Elementary is a K-7 school serving 568 students in Clearlake, California, within the high-need Konocti Unified district, where it ranks in the bottom 5% of all California schools academically.

The school faces significant challenges, most notably a chronic absenteeism rate of 50%, which is the highest among nearby schools like East Lake and Lower Lake Elementary. Despite having the highest per-student spending in the area at over $100,000, this investment has not led to improved academic outcomes; its performance has declined over the past several years and shows extreme inconsistency across different grade levels.

When compared to schools in neighboring districts, the challenges appear systemic to Konocti Unified. For example, schools in the Middletown Unified district, such as Coyote Valley Elementary, achieve proficiency rates two to four times higher with far less funding. Within its own district, Burns Valley is the strongest performer in math but shows a relative weakness in science compared to Lower Lake Elementary.
