Summary:
Coast Unified has one listed elementary school, Cambria Grammar, serving kindergarten through grade 5 with 202 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grade proficiency was about 38% in ELA, 31% in math, and 43% in science. The clearest overall takeaway is that results vary by subject: ELA was 12 percentage points below the state and math 8 points below, while science was 7 points above.
Science is Cambria Grammar’s strongest result relative to the state, and ELA its weakest. Grade-level results also show that the all-grade math figure masks a sharp difference: third-grade math proficiency was 15%, 32 points below the state, while fifth-grade math was 48%, 12 points above; the third-to-fifth-grade spread was 34 points. In ELA, third grade was 18 points below the state, while fourth grade was nearly level and fifth grade was 4 points below. SchoolDigger ranked the school 3,155th of 5,804 schools, in the 46th percentile, with 2 stars for 2025–2026. Because only one school is listed, there is no meaningful comparison among area schools.
ELA and science improved year over year, but math’s state gap did not narrow. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 9 percentage points and its gap to the state narrowed by 9 points; science rose 28 points, shifting from below the state to 7 points above it. Math rose just 1 point, while remaining about 8 points below the state. Chronic absenteeism was comparatively low at 7% in 2025–2026, versus 17% districtwide and 18% statewide. As context, the school had a student–teacher ratio of 15.5 in 2024–2025, and 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these figures do not explain the test results. SchoolDigger’s ranking history places the school at the 26th percentile in 2024–2025 and the 41st percentile in 2023–2024.
