of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 2% of California elementary schools

Summary

Wren Avenue Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 349 students in a high-need area of Concord within the Mt. Diablo Unified district, but it is currently facing a severe academic crisis, ranking in the bottom 2% of all California elementary schools with alarmingly low test scores and a critical chronic absenteeism rate of 34.7%.

The school's performance has declined dramatically, with only about 12% of students proficient in math and English and just 4.55% in science, which are the lowest results among nearby schools like Sun Terrace Elementary and Meadow Homes Elementary. A striking comparison is Monte Gardens Elementary, located less than a mile away, which has significantly higher test scores and lower absenteeism despite serving a community with similar needs, demonstrating that different school-level factors can lead to very different outcomes.

While Wren Avenue spends more per student than several higher-performing neighbors, this has not translated into better results, and student performance appears to worsen in the upper grades. The district may need to implement targeted support, as the school's challenges with attendance and learning gaps require a comprehensive solution to help students succeed.

Worst school in concord. Really disorganized and the kids are very violent and the school does nothing to stop it. Teachers spent most of the day stopping kids from hitting each other. Close Quote
