Summary:

Calexico Unified includes 11 schools—seven elementary schools, two junior highs and two high schools—serving families in Calexico. In 2025–2026, the unweighted averages across the schools were 26% proficient in ELA, 16% in math and 12% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. The averages were 23, 22 and 24 percentage points below the state, respectively: overall, proficiency is well below state levels across the district’s schools.

Calexico High led all-grades ELA at 46%, 21 points above the other schools’ average, though 4 points below the state. Cesar Chavez Elementary led math at 26% and science at 23%—11 and 12 points above the other schools’ averages, but still 12 and 13 points below state rates. At the other end, Aurora High (Continuation) was lowest in all three subjects, at 13% in ELA and 0% in math and science. Grade-level comparisons show exceptions to these overall standings: Blanche Charles Elementary reached 47% in grade 3 ELA, above the state’s 44%.

Results changed little or unevenly from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: the school average edged down in ELA, fell 1 point in math and rose 1 point in science, while the state improved more in science; the gap widened in all three subjects. SchoolDigger’s rankings place Calexico High highest among these schools, at the 34th percentile, and Aurora at the 4th; those are rankings, not test scores. Context measures also differ: the reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025 ranged from 79% at Cesar Chavez to 94% at Rockwood Elementary. Student–teacher ratios do not neatly track test results: Aurora had the lowest ratio, 9.9, while Cesar Chavez led math and science with a ratio of 25.5.
