Kidinnu Academy District

Kidinnu Academy District has one school, Kidinnu Academy, serving 433 students in kindergarten through grade 8. Compared with California results in 2025–2026, the school was above the state in math, nearly level in English language arts (ELA), and slightly below in science: 47% versus 38% in math, 50% versus 49% in ELA, and 35% versus 36% in science. Its clearest overall strength is math, where it led the state by 8 percentage points.

With just one school, there are no school-to-school standouts; the biggest differences appear across grades. Grade 3 math was a high point, at 65% proficient and 18 points above the state, while grade 7 math was a concern at 24%, 14 points below. Eighth-grade ELA also stood out positively: 60% proficient, 11 points above the state. The sharpest shortfall was eighth-grade science, at 13%, 22 points below California; by contrast, fifth-grade science was 7 points above the state. These grade-level contrasts make the school’s overall math advantage less consistent for students in particular grades.

Results improved in math and science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while ELA declined: math rose 8 points and science 11 points, compared with state increases of 1 and 3 points; ELA fell 2 points while the state rose by less than a point. SchoolDigger gives the district rank 272 of 968, percentile 72, and four stars; its school percentile rose from 59 in 2023–2024 to 69 in 2025–2026. For context, 90% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student–teacher ratio was 25.4 that year; reported chronic absenteeism was about 1%, compared with 18% statewide. Because the list includes only one school, it cannot show how these figures compare with other local schools.
