Summary:

The Paradise school district consists of two schools - Natoma High (6-12) and Natoma Elementary. While both schools serve a high proportion of students from low-income families, Natoma Elementary stands out as the academic standout, consistently outperforming district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in Science and Mathematics.

Natoma Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, while Natoma High has seen its rating decline from 5 stars to 2 stars. The elementary school's 5th grade test scores are particularly strong, with 60% proficiency in Science and 40% in Mathematics, well above the district and state averages.

In contrast, Natoma High has lower test scores compared to the elementary school, indicating potential areas for improvement at the high school level. However, the high school spends more per student than the elementary school, suggesting the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and efficiency across the district.
