Summary:
The area has one listed elementary school, Voices College-Bound Language Academy at W. Contra Costa County, a K–8 school with 343 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grade results were below California’s in ELA, math and science: by 25, 21 and 27 percentage points, respectively. Chronic absenteeism was also higher than the state figure—33% compared with 18%, a 15-point difference. The most important concern is that the school’s results lag the state across all three core tested subjects, alongside higher chronic absenteeism.
There is no school-to-school top or bottom in a one-school list, but results vary notably by grade. Third grade was the school’s strongest tested grade in ELA and math: 38% in ELA, 7 points below the state, and 35% in math, 12 points below. Eighth grade was weakest in both: 9% in ELA, 40 points below the state, and 9% in math, 27 points below. Spanish assessment results offer a specific bright spot: third-grade CSA Spanish Overall was 15%, compared with 11% statewide, and Writing was 26% versus 20%; Listening and Reading were below state results.
ELA and math improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while science did not keep pace with statewide gains. ELA rose from 18% to 24% and math from 13% to 17%; their gaps with California narrowed from 30 to 25 points and from 25 to 21 points. Science increased from 9% to 9%, but its gap widened from 24 to 27 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 12th percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 4th percentile the year before and matching its 12th-percentile ranking in 2023–2024. As context, the student–teacher ratio was 34.3 in 2024–2025, and 81% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that school year. With only one school in the list, there is no local peer comparison.
