Summary:
The Cuddeback Union Elementary School District in California contains a single elementary school, Cuddeback Elementary. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in specific grade levels, it also faces several challenges compared to the state average.
Cuddeback Elementary's academic performance is inconsistent, with proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics generally below the state average. The school's science proficiency rates, as measured by the CAST assessment, are also below the state average. Additionally, the school's overall academic performance, as reflected in its statewide ranking, has declined over the past three years, from 2,745th out of 5,883 California elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 3,202nd out of 5,862 in 2023-2024.
The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (59.21%). This high poverty rate may impact the school's ability to allocate resources and provide additional support to students. Furthermore, the Cuddeback Union Elementary School District, which Cuddeback Elementary is a part of, is ranked 734th out of 1,568 school districts in California and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting broader district-level challenges that may be influencing the school's performance.
