Best Public Schools in Newman, California & Rankings

Summary:

The Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District serves the city of Newman, California, with seven public schools spanning grades K-12, serving a community where many families face economic challenges.

Overall, the district's academic proficiency, especially in math, lags behind state averages, but it excels at supporting students to graduation, with a district graduation rate of 97.4% that far exceeds the state's. Orestimba High is a standout for its strong 98.7% graduation rate and improving statewide ranking, while Hurd Barrington Elementary shows the most consistent improvement among elementary schools. In contrast, Yolo Junior High appears to be a challenge area, with math scores dropping sharply by 8th grade.

Parents should note significant differences between schools. Hunt Elementary has the highest per-student spending but middling results, while alternative schools like West Side Valley High (Continuation) provide crucial pathways for at-risk students despite very low test scores. Most schools in the Newman-Crows Landing Unified district are showing positive momentum in their rankings over recent years.
