Summary

Whited Elementary Charter is a K-6 school serving 327 students in Santa Rosa, California, operating within the generally high-performing Rincon Valley Union Elementary district, though the school itself has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade.

Currently, the school's academic performance, particularly in English, math, and science, falls below the district average and notably lags behind many nearby schools like Austin Creek Elementary and Sequoia Elementary. The school serves a population with a higher level of economic need than most of its district peers, and student performance varies considerably by grade level, with fifth-grade science scores being a particular area of concern. Furthermore, chronic absenteeism, while improved from pandemic highs, remains higher than the district average.

When compared to other schools with similar student demographics, such as Village Elementary Charter and Binkley Elementary Charter, Whited Elementary's performance is lower, suggesting challenges beyond economic factors. The school's per-student spending is comparable to higher-performing schools in the area, indicating that resources alone do not explain the performance gap, which includes a notable disparity in outcomes for different student groups within the school.
