Summary:
The 10 schools in Berryessa Union Elementary include seven elementary schools serving K–5 and three middle schools serving grades 6–8. In 2025–26, the schools’ average results were about 61% in ELA, 55% in math and 47% in science—roughly 11, 17 and 11 percentage points above the state figures, respectively. But those averages hide substantial differences: among elementary schools, the gap between the top and bottom school was 28 points in ELA, 39 in math and 44 in science. The most important takeaway is that results vary considerably by school, especially in elementary math and science.
Ruskin Elementary leads the elementary schools in all three subjects, with 73% in ELA, 74% in math and 70% in science; those results are 24, 35 and 34 points above state figures. Brooktree Elementary is lowest among the elementary schools, at 46% in ELA, 34% in math and 27% in science, and is below state in each. Among middle schools, Sierramont Middle leads in every subject, with 74% in ELA, 61% in math and 55% in science. Piedmont Middle is the middle-school trailer, though its math and science scores are still about 2 points above state.
Across the 10 schools, average results fell from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by 4 percentage points in ELA, 2 in math and 6 in science, but Ruskin improved in all three, while Brooktree’s science score dropped 18 points. SchoolDigger ranks Ruskin at the 92nd percentile among California elementary schools and Sierramont at the 91st percentile among middle schools; Brooktree is at the 48th percentile. Income measures provide context, not an explanation of results: all seven elementary schools report free/reduced lunch eligible figures for school year 2024–25, ranging from 13% at Northwood Elementary to 41% at Brooktree.
