Summary

Coronado Elementary is a K–6 school in Richmond, California, with 307 students, in West Contra Costa Unified. Its test results are below district and state averages, but it compares favorably with many nearby district schools in math and science. The most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism: 56% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 34% districtwide and 18% statewide; only Stege Elementary (59%) and Grant Elementary (57%) had higher rates among the seven nearby same-district schools.

Coronado Elementary’s strongest relative results are in math and science, while English language arts (ELA) is its weakest subject. In 2025–2026, 22% were proficient in math and 20% in science, versus 28% and 24% in the district and 38% and 36% statewide. Locally, the school had the highest math and science rates among the seven nearby same-district schools, exceeding their averages by 14 and 16 percentage points, respectively. ELA proficiency was 17%, compared with 34% districtwide and 49% statewide; it was nearly tied for the best nearby rate with Nystrom Elementary. Results also differ by grade: fifth-grade ELA reached 28%, while sixth-grade ELA was just 5%.

All three main tested subjects improved over the four reported years: ELA rose from 9% to 17%, math from 7% to 22%, and science from 2% to 20%; the gaps with state results narrowed, but remained substantial. Coronado Elementary’s SchoolDigger standing improved from the 1st percentile with no stars in 2024–2025 to the 11th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, still a low statewide ranking. Its student-teacher ratio was 20.4 in 2024–2025, and 63% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, below the 73.7% to 97.8% reported at nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s Hispanic Students ranking rose from the 1st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 18th in 2025–2026, signaling a notable improvement in how well the school serves this group by that measure.
