MAXWELL, Calif. — New state education data offer a clearer picture of the small public school district serving Maxwell families. The California Department of Education’s district profile lists 336 students enrolled in Maxwell Unified School District during 2025–26, including 98 students classified as English learners, or 29.2% of enrollment.

What do these numbers represent?

Enrollment counts are an official snapshot of students registered in district schools during the specified school year. The term English learner is a state program classification related to English language development and support, not a measure of a child’s intelligence or academic potential. The district profile does not by itself show how individual students performed on tests.

What can families examine next?

The state’s profile links to annual enrollment by grade, English-learner reports, the California School Dashboard and statewide assessment data. Those reports answer different questions. Parents interested in academic progress should compare dates, school-level context and the number of students tested instead of treating a single districtwide percentage as a ranking.

How to contact the district

California’s directory lists Maxwell Unified at 515 Oak Street, phone 530-438-2052. The district’s own website publishes a 2026–27 master calendar, family notices and school information. Families should use the current calendar for closures and direct school communications for their child’s needs.
