Elementary Schools in Folsom-Cordova Unified

Summary:

The Folsom-Cordova Unified School District in California operates 22 elementary schools serving students from Folsom and Rancho Cordova. These schools exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some standouts like Riverview STEM Elementary, Sandra J. Gallardo Elementary, and Oak Chan Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in California. In contrast, schools like Cordova Meadows Elementary and Rancho Cordova Elementary struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates.

The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate is 9.3%, but several high-performing schools like Russell Ranch Elementary and Mangini Ranch Elementary have much lower rates around 5-6%. Standardized test scores also vary widely, with the top schools seeing 70-90% of students proficient or better in English and Math, while lower-performing schools struggle to reach 30% proficiency.

Overall, the Folsom-Cordova Unified School District has a diverse set of elementary schools, with some exceptional performers and others that face significant challenges. Addressing the disparities in performance and chronic absenteeism will be key priorities for the district moving forward.
