Summary:
The area has one elementary school, Garfield Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 6, with 73 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades results were above California’s in both reported subjects: ELA was 70% compared with 49% statewide, and math was 72% compared with 38% statewide. The most important finding is that the school’s advantage was especially strong in math, at 34 percentage points above the state.
There is no school-to-school top or bottom in this one-school area. Garfield Elementary is the sole school and stands out against state results in both subjects: its ELA score was 21 points higher, and its math score was 34 points higher. The school also had a notably high 2024–2025 science result: 77%, compared with 33% statewide, a 44-point difference. SchoolDigger gave it a five-star rating and ranked it 472nd of 5,804 schools statewide, at the 92nd percentile in 2025–2026.
Results fell from the previous year, although the school remained well above state averages. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA declined by 9 points and math by 7 points at Garfield Elementary; meanwhile, the state’s results rose by less than 1 point in ELA and by 1 point in math. The school’s lead narrowed by 9 points in ELA and 8 points in math. Its SchoolDigger percentile ranking also fell 6 points from 2024–2025, when it was at the 98th percentile. Other context: chronic absenteeism was 8% in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide, and the student–teacher ratio was 18.2 in 2024–2025. The school reported that 27% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures describe the school but do not explain its results. The latest science score is suppressed, so it is not possible to tell whether the earlier science strength continued.
