Summary:

Alvina Elementary Charter is the only school in the Alvina Elementary area, serving 169 students in kindergarten through grade 8. Its 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency was below California’s in all three subjects: 46% in English language arts (ELA) versus 49% statewide, 34% in math versus 38%, and 19% in science versus 36%. The clearest concern is grade 8, where results were about 23 to 24 points below the state in ELA, math, and science.

There is no comparison between local schools: Alvina Elementary Charter is both the area’s top and bottom school by default. Results vary substantially by grade, with grade 7 ELA a standout: 69% were proficient, about 18 points above California. Grade 8 was the school’s weakest grade in all three subjects, with 25% proficient in ELA, 13% in math, and 13% in science. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and ranks it 2,792nd of 5,804 schools, in the 52nd percentile.

Results declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while California’s rose in each subject. The school fell by about 2 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 8 in science; the science gap widened from about 5 points below the state to 17 points below. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking rose from 43 in 2023–2024 to 60 the next year, then eased to 52 in 2025–2026. One favorable context measure is chronic absenteeism: 12% at the school in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide. The school reported that 82% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; this is context, not an explanation for test results.
