Corona Creek Elementary serves 403 students in grades K–6 in Petaluma, in the Waugh Elementary district. The key takeaway is that the school’s latest test results are well above California averages but remain below district averages: Corona Creek scored 18 points above the state in ELA, 20 above in math, and 18 above in science, while trailing its district by 3, 5, and 3 points, respectively.

Its ELA result is 67%, about 19 points above the nearby-school average; math is 58%, 15 points above the average; and science is 54%, 17 points above. ELA stands out relative to nearby schools, while math is the weaker subject compared with both the district and peer average. Grade-level results show some bright spots: fourth-grade math reached 78%, the second-highest result among comparable schools, and fifth-grade ELA was 76%, higher than every comparable nearby school. Third- and sixth-grade math are weaker relative to the district, at 44% and 45%.

SchoolDigger gives Corona Creek 4 stars and an 81st-percentile statewide rank for 2025–26, down from the 85th percentile in 2022–23; the school remains in the upper tier of its nearby group. In 2024–25, its student-teacher ratio was 21.9, compared with a peer average of 23.9. The school’s 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 14%, the second-lowest among comparable peers; these figures provide context, not an explanation for test results. One notable subgroup difference in SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings is that the school ranked at the 58th percentile for White Students in 2025–26, below its overall 81st percentile, indicating lower relative standing for the school’s results for this group.
