Summary:
Zip code 94931 in Cotati, California, contains one public elementary school, Thomas Page Academy, which uniquely serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade within the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District.
Thomas Page Academy faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing below both district and state averages in English, math, and science, and ranking in the bottom quarter of California schools for the past three years. A notable concern is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.9%, which exceeds averages and is closely linked to academic outcomes. The school serves a student population where approximately two-thirds qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, though per-student funding is comparable to national averages.
Despite the overall trends, the school shows dramatic performance differences between grades, with sixth graders scoring notably higher in both English and math compared to much lower proficiency in earlier grades. This variation suggests there may be effective practices within the school that could be leveraged to help other grades. For parents, this indicates a school with systemic challenges but also identifiable strengths in specific areas, operating in a district that itself ranks in the middle tier statewide.
