Summary:

Garvey Elementary has 11 schools: nine elementary schools serving K–6 and two intermediate schools serving grades 7–8. Across the elementary schools, the average math result was 52%, compared with 38% statewide; ELA averaged 49%, essentially the state’s 49%, and science averaged 38%, versus 36% statewide. Those averages hide wide differences between schools: the clearest group-wide advantage is in math, but elementary math scores span 48 percentage points.

Monterey Vista Elementary leads the elementary schools in ELA and math, with 72% and 79% proficient—22 and 41 points above state results. Its math score is 3 points higher than Duff Language Magnet Academy, while its ELA score is 10 points above the next school, Bitely (Arlene) Elementary. Hillcrest Elementary leads in science at 52%, 16 points above the state. At the other end, Dewey Avenue Elementary is lowest in all three subjects: 33% in ELA, 31% in math, and 23% in science. Among the intermediate schools, Garvey (Richard) Intermediate is especially strong in grade 7, while Temple (Roger W.) Intermediate has the higher grade-8 math result.

Elementary ELA performance weakened overall: the school average fell 3 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while the state result rose slightly; only Hillcrest Elementary, Bitely (Arlene) Elementary, and Monterey Vista Elementary improved. Math and science averages rose 1 and 3 points, respectively, but results varied by school. SchoolDigger ranks Monterey Vista Elementary in the 91st statewide percentile with five stars; Bitely (Arlene) Elementary also gained in rank percentile, from 68 to 80 over three years. Other context does not follow a simple pattern: in 2024–25, Duff Language Magnet Academy and Rice (Eldridge) Elementary each enrolled 291 students, but their scores differed considerably; their student-teacher ratios were 20.7 and 24.2, and their free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 81% and 76%.
