Summary:
Chualar Union has one listed school, Chualar Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 8 with 234 students. There are no other listed local schools to compare, so the clearest picture comes from comparing the school with California and looking at results by grade and over time. In 2025–26, all-grades proficiency was 39% in ELA, 26% in math and 17% in science, below state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. Science showed the largest shortfall: 19 percentage points below the state, compared with 13 points in math and 10 in ELA. The most important finding is that all three subjects were below state rates, and the gaps widened from the prior year.
The strongest results were in eighth grade, while third grade and science stand out as areas of concern. Eighth-grade ELA proficiency was 70%, 20 percentage points above California’s 49%; eighth-grade math was 48%, 12 points above the state’s 36%. Seventh-grade ELA was also slightly higher than the state rate, at 52% versus 51%. In contrast, third-grade ELA was 15% versus 44% statewide, and third-grade math was 19% versus 47%. Science was below the state in both tested grades: fifth-grade proficiency was 16% versus 35%, and eighth-grade was 17% versus 35%. Because this is the only listed school, these are grade-level and state comparisons, not local school rankings.
Results declined from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA fell 7 percentage points, math 4 points and science 1 point, while state rates rose in all three subjects. SchoolDigger’s ranking also dropped, from the 52nd percentile and three stars in 2023–24 to the 19th percentile and one star in 2025–26. Context measures include an 18:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25 and 84% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. Chronic absenteeism was lower than the state rate, at 15% compared with 18%. These figures provide context but, with one school, do not show how school circumstances align with results across local schools.
