In 2025–26, the schools’ all-grades proficiency results were close: Palominas had 35% in English language arts (ELA) and 24% in math, while Coronado Elementary School had 32% and 23%.

Palominas stands out in the all-grades comparison, leading Coronado by 3 percentage points in ELA and 1 point in math; both are below state results of 41% in ELA and 33% in math. In eighth-grade science, Palominas is also the clear leader, with 40% proficiency compared with Coronado’s 29% and the state’s 30%. Coronado has a notable exception in eighth-grade math: its 42% result is 12 points above the state’s 30%, even though its all-grades math result is 10 points below the state. Reported grade-level results are incomplete, so they do not support a full comparison between schools grade by grade.
