Summary

Sun Terrace Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 418 students in the Mt. Diablo Unified school district, located in a Concord community where a high percentage of families qualify for economic assistance.

Academically, the school has historically ranked in the lower percentiles statewide, but it showed very promising improvement in the most recent year, jumping from the 7th to the 22nd percentile with significant gains in English and math scores. While still below average, this progress is notable, especially when compared to other high-need schools in the area like Cambridge Elementary and Wren Avenue Elementary, which Sun Terrace currently outperforms. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, at 28.5%, which is higher than the district and state averages and can impact learning.

The school's environment offers some interesting comparisons: just over a mile away, Monte Gardens Elementary performs significantly higher with a lower rate of economic need, while the nearby charter school, Rocketship Futuro Academy, achieves much stronger academic results with a similar student population. Sun Terrace's recent improvement suggests potential for continued growth, particularly if it can address attendance and build on its instructional strengths, especially for its English Language Learner students.
