Summary:

ABC Unified includes 30 schools—19 elementary, five middle, and six high schools, including an alternative high school—and serves students from elementary through high school. Twenty-nine schools have 2025–2026 test results; the area’s equal-weight school averages were 58% in ELA, 48% in math, and 43% in science, respectively 8, 9, and 7 percentage points above state rates. But school results span 84 points in ELA, 96 in math, and 92 in science. The most important finding is that above-state averages hide very large differences among individual schools.

Whitney (Gretchen) High stands out most: its All Grades results were 99% in both ELA and math and 98% in science. At the other end, Tracy (Wilbur) High (Continuation) had the lowest reported All Grades results—15% in ELA, 3% in math, and 5% in science. Among elementary schools, Leal (Frank C.) Elementary led in ELA and math at 86% in each, while Wittmann (Helen) Elementary led in science at 80%. For a same-grade high-school comparison, Whitney’s 11th graders scored 99% in ELA, 100% in math, and 96% in science, ahead of next-best Cerritos High by 23, 56, and 47 points.

Results have shifted unevenly: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the average school ELA rate fell from 59% to 58%, math remained about 48%, and science remained about 43%; the average school-to-state gaps narrowed by 2 points in ELA, 1 in math, and 3 in science. ELA rose at 8 schools and fell at 21, while math rose at 17 and science at 16. SchoolDigger ranked Whitney #1 in California in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025, then #4 in 2025–2026; Willow Elementary’s percentile fell from 30 to 13 over the last two listed years. As context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 31% at Whitney and 80% at Willow, while Hawaiian Elementary reported 94% and still had science results above the state rate. These figures describe school contexts, not causes of results. ABC Secondary (Alternative) has no supplied test-score results.
