Summary:
Penryn, California, has one listed school, Penryn Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 8 with 250 students. In 2025–2026, the school’s proficiency was 80% in English language arts (ELA), 74% in math, and 54% in science. With no other Penryn-area schools in the list, families can compare its results with the district and state, rather than with local school peers. The most important takeaway is that Penryn was above California’s overall proficiency in all three subjects, by 31 points in ELA, 36 points in math, and 18 points in science.
Penryn Elementary is the only school listed, so there is no separate local top or bottom school; within its results, grade 5 is the clearest relative weak spot. Overall, Penryn was ahead of Loomis Union Elementary District by 10 points in ELA and 10 points in math, but behind the district by 6 points in science. In grade 5, Penryn trailed the district by 4 points in ELA, 4 points in math, and 14 points in science, although its grade 5 results remained above state results in all three subjects. Grade 8 science is a counterpoint: Penryn was 2 points above the district.
Results rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in all subjects, but the school’s advantage over the state grew only in ELA: ELA increased by 7 points at Penryn, while the state rose by less than 1 point; math increased by 1 point and science by 2, while the state gained 1 point in math and 3 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Penryn in the 91st percentile and gives it 5 stars for 2025–2026; its listed percentile rose from 84th in 2023–2024 and 90th in 2024–2025.
