Summary

Apple Blossom is a K-5 elementary school serving about 305 students in Sebastopol, California, as part of the Twin Hills Union Elementary district, which is generally well-regarded across the state.

The school has shown significant strengths in specific areas, most notably a dramatic improvement in student attendance and exceptional support for students with special needs. Chronic absenteeism has been cut nearly in half since 2021, now lower than the state average and better than some higher-performing schools like Sunridge Charter. Furthermore, its special education program is ranked in the top 10% statewide. However, overall academic performance is mixed; while science and math scores are above the state average, English Language Arts scores are slightly below, and the school generally performs below the average for its own high-achieving district and some nearby schools such as Gravenstein Elementary.

Performance varies considerably by grade level, with a noticeable dip in 4th grade English scores, and the school spends more per student than several local comparison schools. For parents, Apple Blossom presents a profile of a school with dedicated programs that successfully support specific student needs and improve attendance, but whose overall academic results are solid yet not leading compared to other local options within the broader Gravenstein Union Elementary and Sebastopol Union Elementary districts.
