Summary:

Cutler-Orosi Joint Unified has eight schools: three elementary schools, one middle school, three high schools, and one alternative school, serving students from elementary through high school. Across the six schools with reportable 2025–2026 schoolwide results, average proficiency was below the state in every subject, with the largest gap in science: 20% compared with 36%. The sharpest school-to-school divide is between the two high schools, Orosi High and Lovell High.

Palm Elementary led the elementary schools in schoolwide ELA at 49%, while Golden Valley Elementary led in math at 45% and science at 31%. Cutler Elementary had the lowest elementary schoolwide ELA and math results, at 40% and 34%, but its 4th-grade ELA result was 48%, above the state’s 46% for that grade. The high-school gap is larger: on 11th-grade tests, Orosi led Lovell by 50 points in ELA, 25 in math, and 16 in science. Orosi also reported a 98% graduation rate, compared with 67% at Lovell.

Results improved in math and science overall, while ELA slipped slightly: across the same six schools, math rose 3 points and science 5 points, while ELA fell 1 point from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Science rose at all six, including by 8 points at Cutler and Golden Valley and 7 at Palm. SchoolDigger rankings show gains for Cutler, from the 23rd to the 41st percentile, and Golden Valley, from the 54th to the 59th; Orosi ranked at the 48th percentile and Lovell at the 3rd in 2025–2026. The elementary schools had similar listed context in 2024–2025—student-teacher ratios of 19.2 to 20.2 and free/reduced lunch eligible rates of 90% to 95%—alongside different results. Schoolwide figures combine different grade spans, and some schools do not have reportable results.
