Summary:

The Madera-area dataset includes 44 schools—24 elementary, five middle, nine high and six alternative schools—serving students from the elementary grades through high school, as well as students in specialized programs. The 2025–2026 results range widely: all-grades proficiency runs from 0% to 72% in English language arts (ELA), 0% to 45% in math and 0% to 54% in science. The clearest takeaway for families is that school results are uneven, not uniformly high or low across the area.

Stone Creek Elementary leads the listed elementary schools in ELA and math, at 58% and 45%, while Webster Elementary leads in science, at 54%. Among middle schools, Ranchos Middle leads in all three subjects: 64% ELA, 43% math and 34% science. At high school level, Liberty High leads grade 11 with 72% ELA, 34% math and 40% science; its ELA result is 12 percentage points above Madera High, the next-highest listed high school. At the other end, Ripperdan Community Day reported 0% in all three subjects, and Gould Educational Center reported 0% in math. These broad results cover schools with different grade spans and program types, so they are not all like-for-like comparisons.

Recent changes differ by school and level: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the five listed high schools’ all-grades averages rose 3 percentage points in ELA, 2 in math and 7 in science, while the four middle schools’ averages fell 2 points in ELA and rose about 1 point in math and science. Individual gains include a 13-point ELA increase at Madera South High and a 12-point science increase at Matilda Torres High. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Liberty High rose from the 51st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 73rd in 2025–2026; Sherman Thomas STEM Academy had especially high 2024–2025 results—85% ELA, 73% math and 81% science—and ranked 96th of 2,761 schools on SchoolDigger that year. Free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025 also varied: 26% at Stone Creek and 48% at Webster, compared with more than 95% at several schools, including Sierra Vista Elementary; these figures are context, not an explanation of results.
