Summary

Minnie Cannon Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 164 students in rural Middletown, CA, within the Middletown Unified district, and it has shown significant recent improvement despite facing notable academic challenges.

The school's performance has been highly variable year-to-year, but its statewide ranking jumped dramatically this year, moving from the 9th to the 29th percentile. However, it faces a serious challenge in mathematics, where only about 20% of students are proficient, and there is a large performance gap between male and female students. Chronic student absenteeism, while improved, remains higher than the state average. Interestingly, the school's results vary greatly by grade level, with 5th graders performing much better in English than 4th graders, and it spends more per student than some district peers like Coyote Valley Elementary but achieves lower academic outcomes.

Minnie Cannon exists in a unique context, as it is located very close to much higher-performing schools, including the Lake County International Charter just 0.36 miles away, which serves a similar student population but ranks in the 81st percentile. Other nearby high-performing schools include Alexander Valley Elementary. Within its own district, Coyote Valley Elementary also performs significantly higher. This creates a stark contrast and suggests families in the area have several alternative options, while also providing potential models for Minnie Cannon's continued improvement efforts.
