Summary:
Sutter has one elementary school, Brittan Elementary, serving kindergarten through eighth grade and enrolling 539 students. In 2025–26, its all-grade proficiency was 32% in English language arts (ELA), 29% in math, and 19% in science; statewide results were 49%, 38%, and 36%, respectively. The most important finding is that Brittan was below the state in all three subjects, with the largest gaps in ELA and science: 18 and 17 percentage points.
There is no meaningful top-to-bottom ranking among Sutter schools because Brittan is the only school in the data. Within the school, seventh-grade math stands out: 43% proficient compared with 38% statewide, a 6-point advantage; eighth-grade math was also ahead, 40% versus 36%, a 4-point advantage. The weakest comparisons were fifth-grade math, at 14% versus 37% statewide, and sixth-grade math, at 16% versus 37%—shortfalls of 23 and 22 points. Eighth-grade science was another notable gap, at 14% versus 35%, or 22 points below the state.
Results improved in ELA and science from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while math edged down by less than a point. Brittan’s ELA proficiency rose by 2 points and science by 7, while its math result slipped by less than a point; its simple average across the three subjects rose from 24% to 27%, and the average gap with the state narrowed by 1 point. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking moved down from the 39th percentile with 2 stars in 2023–24 to the 23rd percentile with 1 star in 2025–26. Other context: the student-teacher ratio was 20.5 in 2024–25, and 35% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that school year.
