Summary:
The Kepler Neighborhood District has one school: Kepler Neighborhood, an elementary school serving grades K–8 with 301 students. With no other schools in the area list, the useful comparisons are with California and across the school’s grade-level results. Most importantly, in 2025–2026, the school’s all-grade proficiency rates remained below the state’s in ELA (43% versus 49%), mathematics (35% versus 38%), and science (31% versus 36%).
Grade-level results show both notable strengths and a clear area of concern. Fifth-grade ELA was 65%, 16 points above the state’s 49%, and third-grade ELA was 53%, 9 points above the state’s 44%. Third-grade mathematics also stood out at 57%, 10 points above the state’s 47%; seventh-grade math was 41%, 3 points above the state’s 38%. By contrast, sixth grade was well below the state in both subjects: ELA was 28% versus 48%, a 20-point gap, and math was 14% versus 37%, a 23-point gap. These grade-level differences may be worth discussing with the school when considering how students are supported as they move through the grades.
Results improved across all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 1 point, mathematics 5 points, and science 8 points. The school’s gaps with California narrowed by less than 1 point in ELA, 4 points in math, and 5 points in science. SchoolDigger lists the school at 2,710 of 5,804 schools, in the 53rd percentile with 3 stars, up from the 43rd percentile and 2 stars the prior year. For context, in 2024–2025, 70% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible; the school also had a 14:1 student-teacher ratio and spent $38,345 per student. These figures provide context, but the one-school list does not allow comparison of staffing, spending, or income measures across local schools.
