Summary:

The 25 schools in Antioch Unified include 15 elementary, four middle, five high and one alternative school, with virtual and continuation options as well. Across the schools, the unweighted average proficiency rates are 29% in ELA, 17% in mathematics and 17% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. The central finding for families is that results vary widely between schools, while the average trails the state in all three subjects.

Dozier-Libbey Medical High leads ELA at 65%—38 percentage points above the average of the other schools and 16 points above the state. Thomas Gaines Virtual Academy leads mathematics at 34% and science at 35%, though those results are still 4 and 1 point below the state, respectively. At the lower end, Antioch Middle has the lowest ELA result at 12%, Bidwell Continuation High the lowest mathematics result at 5%, and Belshaw Elementary the lowest science result at 3%. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 statewide rankings also range considerably: Dozier-Libbey is at the 72nd percentile, while Antioch Middle, Marsh Elementary and Fremont Elementary are each at the 2nd percentile.

Average school results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by about 2 percentage points in both ELA and mathematics, narrowing their gaps with the state by about 2 and 1 points; science also rose about 2 points, but its gap widened by 1 point. Individual changes differ: Live Oak High (Continuation) gained 21 points in ELA, while Dozier-Libbey fell 7 points in that subject. SchoolDigger rankings also show changing relative positions: Orchard Park rose from the 22nd to the 34th percentile over three years, while Dozier-Libbey moved from the 86th to the 72nd. Income measures provide context, not an explanation: in 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible rates were 59% at Muir (John) Elementary and 75% at Fremont; Muir’s ELA, mathematics and science results were 40%, 25% and 29%, compared with Fremont’s 17%, 12% and 7%. All-grade comparisons combine different grade spans, so families may also want to consider results for the specific grade their child would attend.
