Summary

Loma Rica Elementary is a small, public K-5 school with about 115 students in Marysville, California, that has shown impressive academic growth and stands out as a strong performer within its local Marysville Joint Unified district.

The school has made a remarkable recovery since the pandemic, climbing from a low state ranking to the 66th percentile, and now significantly outperforms both its district and the state in English Language Arts. It is particularly effective in supporting its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 80th percentile for that group. Furthermore, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.3% is better than both the district and state averages and shows consistent improvement. With per-student spending higher than many nearby schools like Cordua Elementary and Dobbins Elementary, this investment coincides with stronger academic outcomes.

An interesting comparison is nearby Browns Valley Elementary, which achieves even higher rankings with lower spending and absenteeism, offering a compelling example of efficiency. Loma Rica does show some grade-level variations in performance, with 5th grade excelling in English but needing focus in math, while 4th grade shows room for growth in both subjects. The school's main challenge is extending its successful strategies to ensure all student groups thrive, positioning it well to continue its positive trajectory.
