Summary

Cedar Lane Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 554 students in Olivehurst, CA, as part of the Marysville Joint Unified district, and it consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state.

Academically, the school significantly lags behind both district and state averages, with only about 16% of students proficient in English and 13% in math. While chronic absenteeism has improved from pandemic highs, it remains above average. The school serves a very high-need population, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is the highest rate among nearby schools in the district. Interestingly, there is a wide performance gap within the same district; for example, Covillaud Elementary, less than two miles away, has proficiency rates nearly three times higher in some subjects.

The school's challenges appear most pronounced in upper grades, with proficiency in 5th and 6th-grade math falling below 6%. Despite increased per-student spending compared to some peers like Edgewater Elementary, academic results have not improved proportionally. Comparisons to schools in the neighboring Yuba City Unified district and the local charter school, Paragon Collegiate Academy, suggest that different educational models serving similar populations can achieve stronger academic outcomes.
