Summary

Ayers Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 394 students in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District in Concord, consistently earning a 3-star rating and performing solidly in English and Math compared to district and state averages.

The school stands out for its strong record on student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% that is better than both the district and state, and it achieves these results while serving a student body with a moderate level of economic need. Ayers operates efficiently, delivering reliable performance without the high per-student spending seen at some neighboring schools like Westwood Elementary. Its most direct peer is Silverwood Elementary, which has similar academic scores and attendance, while it outperforms closer schools like Mountain View Elementary in both academics and attendance.

Ayers shows a notable strength in helping students return to regular attendance after the pandemic, recovering faster than broader trends. An area for potential growth is in supporting math proficiency as students move into upper grades, where scores tend to decline. Overall, Ayers Elementary is a stable, mid-performing school that provides a solid educational foundation and effectively supports its diverse student community.
