Summary:

Orosi, California, has four public schools serving kindergarten through grade 12: Golden Valley Elementary and Palm Elementary (K–5), El Monte Middle (6–8), and Orosi High (9–12). In 2025–26, their unweighted average proficiency was about 49% in English language arts (ELA), 36% in math, and 24% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The clearest area-wide concern is science: the average was 12 percentage points below the state, and none of the four schools reached the state result.

Leaders differ by subject. Orosi High led ELA at 56%, 7 points above the state and 8 points above the next-highest school, Palm Elementary at 49%; El Monte Middle was lowest at 43%, 7 points below the state. Golden Valley Elementary led math at 45%, 7 points above the state and just 1 point ahead of Palm. It also led science at 31%, though still 5 points below the state. At the other end, Orosi High scored 25% in math and 19% in science—14 and 17 points below the state, respectively.

Math and science improved faster than statewide results from 2024–25 to 2025–26: the four-school averages rose 4 points in math and 5 in science, versus state gains of 1 and 3 points; ELA slipped slightly while the state edged up. Elementary results vary by grade: Palm led grade 3 ELA and math, while Golden Valley led both subjects in grade 5. SchoolDigger rates the two elementary schools three stars and El Monte and Orosi High two stars; its ranking percentile rose from 37 to 44 for El Monte and 54 to 59 for Golden Valley from 2023–24 to 2025–26, while Orosi High fell from 57 to 48. Student–teacher ratios range from 19.2 to 20.2. Each school reported students as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, ranging from 90% at Golden Valley to 97% at El Monte; these figures offer context, not an explanation for results.
