John Reed Primary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools, with proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST that are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 21.74% of students at John Reed Primary were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 40.21% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 12.11%, compared to 24.68% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.3% in 2017-2018 to 26.6% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools within the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District, such as Monte Vista Elementary, Marguerite Hahn Elementary, and Evergreen Elementary, John Reed Primary consistently underperforms in academic proficiency, has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, and experiences higher chronic absenteeism rates. These factors may be contributing to the school's overall struggles and the widening performance gap between John Reed Primary and its neighboring schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
