Summary:

The 14 schools in Sanger, California, include nine elementary schools, one middle school, three high schools, and one alternative school, serving families across Sanger Unified. For 2025–26, the average across the 13 schools with reported results was 48% in ELA, 37% in math, and 30% in science, compared with California’s 49%, 38%, and 36%. Community Day’s results are suppressed, so it is not included in those averages. The most important finding is how widely results vary among schools, with science the largest shared gap from the state.

Sanger High leads in All Grades ELA at 72% and science at 56%, while Ronald W. Reagan Elementary leads math at 60%. Fairmont Elementary and Sanger Academy Charter are also strong across subjects, scoring above the state in all three. At the low end, Kings River High (Continuation) scores 3% in ELA, 0% in math, and 1% in science—46, 38, and 35 points below the state, respectively. Among elementary and middle schools, Wilson Elementary has the lowest results in all three subjects: 31% in ELA, 24% in math, and 14% in science. Grade-level results add nuance: Hallmark Academy leads 11th-grade ELA at 81%, 24 points above the state, despite lower All Grades math and science results.

Scores improved on average from 2024–25 to 2025–26: about 3 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 6 in science across the same 13 schools, with nine schools improving in all three subjects. However, Washington Academic Middle and Kings River High (Continuation) declined in all three. SchoolDigger ranks Reagan in the 83rd percentile and Fairmont in the 81st, compared with the 23rd percentile for Wilson and the 4th for Kings River. Context measures do not sort schools neatly by results: in 2024–25, Reagan reported 65% free/reduced lunch eligible and a 23.1 student-teacher ratio, while Wilson reported 94% eligible and a 27.0 ratio. These figures provide context, not an explanation for score differences.
