Summary

Captain Raymond Collins is a public elementary school serving about 520 students in grades K-5 within the Paramount Unified School District in Long Beach, CA, but it faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom quarter of all California elementary schools.

The school's test scores in English, math, and science are substantially lower than both the district and state averages, and a major concern is the high rate of chronic student absenteeism, at 31.7%, which is much higher than nearby schools. While the school receives strong per-student funding, comparable to higher-performing neighbors, outcomes have not improved, with student performance often declining in the upper grades. Notably, the performance of students in special education has dropped sharply in recent years.

It is important for parents to know that several schools very close to Captain Raymond Collins, such as Intensive Learning Center, Stephen Foster Elementary, and Holmes Elementary, achieve much stronger academic results while serving similar student populations. Even within its own district, Major Lynn Mokler outperforms it in key areas. This suggests that the challenges at Captain Raymond Collins may be addressed through focused strategies on attendance, instruction, and support.
