Better than 7% of California elementary schools

Summary

Rosamond Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 822 students in Rosamond, California, operating within the Southern Kern Unified school district, which ranks in the bottom 11% of all districts in the state.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English, Math, and Science far below state averages, placing it in the 7th percentile of California elementary schools. A major concern is chronic student absenteeism, which, while improved from pandemic highs, remains elevated at 27.8%. Performance data shows students tend to fall further behind in upper grades, with science scores being a particular area of need. The school serves a community with high economic need, and it spends over $17,000 per student, similar to other local schools.

When compared to a nearby school in the same district, Westpark Elementary, the differences are notable. Despite similar funding and serving a comparable community, Westpark achieves significantly higher academic results and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate. This suggests that improvement is possible within the local context. The analysis recommends Rosamond Elementary could benefit from studying the successful practices of its higher-performing district peer to address its academic and attendance challenges.
