Summary:
Ross, California, has one listed school, Ross Elementary, a K–8 school serving 339 students. With no other listed school in the area, the most useful comparison is with California statewide results. In 2025–2026, the school’s all-grades proficiency was above the state in English language arts (ELA), math, and science; its strongest statewide advantage was in math.
Because it is the only school listed, there is no local top-or-bottom comparison. Against the state in 2025–2026, Ross was ahead by 35 percentage points in ELA (84% versus 49%), 52 points in math (91% versus 38%), and 13 points in science (49% versus 36%). The all-grades results conceal a notable science exception by grade: fifth-grade science was 83% at Ross versus 35% statewide, a 47-point lead, while eighth-grade science was 9% versus 35%, 26 points below the state. That contrast is important context alongside the stronger all-grades comparison.
Science showed the sharpest decline over time: Ross’s all-grades result fell 23 points, from 73% in 2024–2025 to 49% in 2025–2026, while the state rose 3 points; Ross’s science advantage narrowed by 27 points. ELA fell 5 points, while math edged up 1 point; math’s gain was slightly smaller than the state’s (0.7 points versus 1.1), so the school’s lead narrowed slightly. SchoolDigger gives Ross a rank of 49 out of 968, the 95th percentile, and 5 stars. Chronic absenteeism was 5% in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide. The student–teacher ratio was 12.2 in 2024–2025, and 1% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that school year.
