Summary

Juniper is an elementary school located in Redding, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 236 students. It is part of the Redding Elementary District, which is ranked 652 out of 1565 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Juniper's data highlights several areas of concern, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 15.2% to 24.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the Redding Elementary District and state averages. Additionally, Juniper's test scores on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science exams are generally lower than the Redding Elementary District and the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, Juniper's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were 39.73% and 26.03%, respectively, compared to the Redding Elementary District's 45.21% and 36.5%, and the state's 48.81% and 37.3%. Juniper's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students and White students performing significantly worse than the state average.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Redding Elementary District and the Enterprise Elementary District, Juniper generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that Juniper may have unique challenges or needs that require a more targeted approach to improvement, such as addressing the root causes of absenteeism and implementing more effective interventions to support student success.
