Summary

Roy Cloud Elementary is a high-performing K-8 public school serving 636 students in the Redwood City Elementary district, consistently ranking in the top quarter of all California schools.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, with over 63% of students proficient in both English and Math—significantly higher than the district average—and an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.3%. This performance is notable when compared to other schools in the same district, such as Roosevelt Elementary and Henry Ford Elementary, which have much lower proficiency rates. While Orion Alternative is a similarly strong performer within the district, Roy Cloud achieves its results with efficient per-student spending.

While Roy Cloud excels overall, recent data shows a sharp decline in performance for its low-income students, a challenge the school will need to address. Compared to schools in wealthier neighboring districts like San Carlos Elementary and Woodside Elementary, Roy Cloud performs very well but with a different resource profile, highlighting how factors beyond just funding contribute to its success.
