Summary:
Journey is the only elementary school listed in Journey District; it serves kindergarten through grade 6 and enrolls 570 students. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency was 36% in English language arts (ELA), 27% in math, and 24% in science, compared with California’s 49%, 38%, and 36%, respectively. The central finding for families is that results were below state averages in every subject, by about 11–13 percentage points.
There is no peer-school standout: Journey is both the area’s highest- and lowest-scoring school by default. Against the state, math was its closest subject, 11 points behind; ELA had the largest gap, at 13 points, while science was 12 points behind. Grade results reveal a notable exception: third-grade ELA was 48% at Journey versus 44% statewide, or 4 points higher. In contrast, sixth-grade math was 21 points below the state. These differences show why the all-grades averages do not capture every grade’s performance.
Scores increased from 2024–25 to 2025–26 in all three subjects: ELA rose 4 points, math 3 points, and science 16 points. The state-relative gaps narrowed in each subject, with science’s gap shrinking from 25 points to 12, though results remained below state figures. SchoolDigger raised Journey from the 23rd percentile and one star in 2024–25 to the 32nd percentile and two stars in 2025–26; its rank improved by 551 places. Chronic absenteeism was 30% in 2025–26, compared with 18% statewide. Other context includes a 25.5-to-1 student–teacher ratio and 82% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. Because this list contains only one school, it cannot show how Journey compares with other schools in the area.
