Summary

Blosser Lane Elementary is a public school serving about 335 students in grades 3 through 5 in the rural Willits Unified district in Willits, CA.

The school faces significant challenges, with academic performance in English, math, and science far below state averages and a chronic absenteeism rate of 39.4%, which is more than double the state average. This is part of a district-wide trend, as other Willits Unified schools like Sherwood and Brookside Elementary also show high absenteeism and low rankings. Notably, the school spends $18,814 per student, which is higher than some nearby higher-performing schools, yet its statewide rank has fallen to the 4th percentile.

Comparisons with nearby schools highlight different outcomes in similar communities. For instance, Willits Elementary Charter, just a mile away, shows better academic results with lower spending. Schools in the neighboring Ukiah Unified district, such as Frank Zeek Elementary, achieve much higher proficiency and lower absenteeism. A bright spot for Blosser Lane is its relative effectiveness in serving special education students, where it has ranked significantly higher. The data suggests that addressing attendance and instructional effectiveness are critical areas for improvement.
