Summary:
This analysis covers five elementary schools (K-8) in the Ripon Unified district, located in Ripon, CA (zip code 95366), a district that ranks in the top 15% statewide.
Among these schools, Park View Elementary stands out as the highest performer, ranking in the 88th percentile for California with the strongest test scores in English, math, and science, along with a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 4.9%. In contrast, Ripona Elementary ranks significantly lower, with the lowest test scores in the group, particularly in science, and a higher rate of chronic absenteeism.
Overall, four of the five schools maintain strong 4-star ratings, and chronic absenteeism is notably low across most campuses compared to state averages. An interesting finding is that the highest-performing school, Park View Elementary, operates with the lowest per-student spending in the group, suggesting factors beyond funding contribute to success. The consistent strength of the Ripon Unified district provides a solid foundation for all its schools.
