Summary:
The Pine Ridge Elementary area list contains one school, Pine Ridge Elementary, serving kindergarten through eighth grade; enrollment is 67, so there are no local schools to compare directly. In 2025–2026, all-grades proficiency was 48% in English language arts (ELA), 27% in math, and 33% in science, each below California’s results of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The clearest concern is math: the school was 11 percentage points below the state.
Fifth grade stands out as a bright spot, while fourth-grade math is the clearest grade-level weakness. Fifth-grade ELA proficiency was 69%, 20 points above the state’s 49%; math was 46%, 9 points above the state’s 37%; and science was 38%, 3 points above the state. By contrast, fourth-grade ELA was essentially in line with the state (45% versus 46%), but math was 27%, 15 points below the state’s 42%. These grade-level contrasts show that the all-grades results do not describe every grade equally.
Results weakened from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA fell from 53% to 48%, shifting from 4 points above the state to 2 points below; math fell from 36% to 27%, widening its state gap from 2 to 11 points below. SchoolDigger’s ranking was 2,092 of 5,804 schools, at the 64th percentile and three stars in 2025–2026; that was 164 places and 3 percentile points better than the prior year, despite the lower test scores. Chronic absenteeism was 26%, compared with 18% statewide. The student-teacher ratio was 11.1:1 in 2024–2025, and 36% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; the state provides free school meals to all students.
