Summary:
The Jacoby Creek Elementary area has one school, Jacoby Creek, serving grades K–8 and 455 students. In 2025–2026, the school was above California’s proficiency rates in all three reported subjects: 77% in English language arts (ELA) versus 49% statewide, 66% in math versus 38%, and 61% in science versus 36%. The most important finding is that Jacoby Creek’s results were consistently well above the state in every reported all-grades subject.
Because Jacoby Creek is the only school in the area list, there are no local schools to identify as top or bottom performers. Within the school, however, results vary by grade: every reported grade exceeded its same-grade state result, but math was a relative weak spot in grade 6, at 46% versus 37% statewide, a 9-point advantage. Math results were especially strong in grades 7 and 8: 81% versus 38% in grade 7, a 43-point gap, and 78% versus 36% in grade 8, a 42-point gap. This grade variation may be useful context for families, alongside the strong all-grades results.
Jacoby Creek’s proficiency increased slightly from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in ELA and math, reaching 77% and 66%, while science was essentially unchanged at 61%. The state also improved, especially in science, where proficiency rose 3 points; as a result, the school-state science gap narrowed from 28 points to 25 points, and its average gap across the three subjects narrowed by about 1 point. SchoolDigger ranks Jacoby Creek 781st of 5,804 California schools, in the 87th percentile; it ranks the Jacoby Creek Elementary district 71st of 968, in the 93rd percentile. Other context includes a 20.5 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 35% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 5% at both the school and district, compared with 18% statewide. These figures provide context, but the single-school list does not allow local school-to-school comparisons.
