Best Public Schools in Seeley, CA

Seeley has one listed school, Seeley Elementary, serving kindergarten through eighth grade and 325 students. Its 2025–26 all-grade results were below California’s in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, while chronic absenteeism was lower than the state rate. The clearest concern is science: Seeley’s proficiency was 20 percentage points below California’s.

There is no other listed school to compare at the top or bottom, so the useful comparison is with state results. In 2025–26, Seeley’s proficiency was 38% in ELA, 35% in math, and 16% in science, compared with 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide; the gaps were 12, 4, and 20 percentage points, respectively. Grade-level results show some stronger pockets: seventh-grade ELA was 8 points above the state, and third- and seventh-grade math were 4 and 1 point above. Most other reported ELA and math grades, and both reported science grades, were below their state comparisons.

ELA and math improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but science declined: Seeley gained 6 points in ELA and 11 in math, while science fell 2 points. Its gap with the state narrowed by 6 points in ELA and 10 in math, but widened by 5 in science.
