Summary:
This analysis examines four elementary schools serving grades K-5 (with one K-8 charter) in Dixon, California (zip code 95620), revealing significant performance differences among them.
Dixon Montessori Charter stands out as the top performer, achieving the highest test scores and a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 2.3%. It is followed by Tremont Elementary, which ranks highest among the traditional Dixon Unified schools. Anderson (Linford L.) Elementary and Gretchen Higgins Elementary show lower proficiency rates, with Gretchen Higgins ranking in the state's lowest percentile.
Key insights show a strong performance gap between the charter and district schools, with the Dixon Montessori Charter District significantly outperforming Dixon Unified. Higher per-student spending in the district does not correlate with better results. Furthermore, three of the four schools have shown declining statewide rankings over recent years, indicating a potential area for district-wide focus, particularly on attendance and science proficiency.
