Summary

Coronado Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 307 students in Richmond, California, within the West Contra Costa Unified district, which faces significant academic challenges across its schools.

Academically, Coronado is struggling, with only about 9% of students proficient in English and 11% in math, placing it in the bottom 1% of California schools; notably, science scores are critically low at 2.6% proficiency. While chronic absenteeism is a concern at 33.6%, it is actually lower than at several nearby district schools like Stege Elementary (57.7%) and Nystrom Elementary (41.1%). Coronado's performance is part of a broader pattern, as all traditional public schools in the immediate area rank very low statewide, suggesting district-wide systemic issues.

A striking finding is the contrast with nearby public charter schools. Richmond College Preparatory, serving a similar student population less than a mile away, achieves over 50% proficiency in core subjects while receiving nearly triple the funding per student. This highlights a major resource disparity and shows that different educational models within the same community can yield vastly different academic outcomes, raising important questions about support and opportunity for all students in the area.
