Summary:
Magnolia Science Academy 5 District has one school, Magnolia Science Academy 5, serving grades 6–12 in California. In 2025–2026, its all-grades ELA and Science results were above state results, while Mathematics was below; graduation and dropout figures were also more favorable than the state’s, though chronic absenteeism was higher. Because this is the only school in the list, there are no school-to-school leaders or comparisons. The most important finding is the sharp split between subjects: Science was 10 percentage points above the state, but Mathematics was 5 points below.
Within the school’s 2025–2026 results, Science stood out relative to the state at 46% compared with 36%; ELA was 55% versus 49%, and Mathematics was 33% versus 38%. Grade-level ELA results varied considerably: grade 11 reached 95%, 38 points above the state, while grade 6 was 24%, 24 points below. In grade 8, ELA was also below the state, by 5 points. Other reported indicators show a mixed picture: graduation was 96% versus 88% statewide, and dropout was 4% versus 8%, but chronic absenteeism was 21% versus 18%.
Results changed substantially by subject from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: Science rose 19 percentage points, from 28% to 46%, while Mathematics fell 16 points, from 49% to 33%; ELA increased 2 points, from 53% to 55%. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from rank 740 of 2,162 schools and the 66th percentile with 3 stars in 2024–2025 to rank 205 of 2,137 and the 90th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–2026, even as Mathematics declined. The school had 218 students, a student-teacher ratio of 16.3 in 2024–2025, and 78% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these are context, not explanations for results.
