Rockford Elementary

The area list contains one K–8 school, Rockford Elementary, with 301 students; its latest proficiency results are for 2025–2026, and all-grades scores are also available for the prior year. Because only one school is listed, there is no meaningful school-to-school ranking or comparison. The most important finding is that overall ELA and math proficiency are well below California rates, while science is much closer: 37% versus 49% in ELA, 27% versus 38% in math, and 33% versus 36% in science—gaps of 13, 12, and 3 percentage points, respectively.

Rockford Elementary is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in this list, simply because it is the only one. Within the school, grade results show some brighter spots: 7th-grade ELA proficiency was 56%, 6 points above the state rate, and 8th-grade science was 36%, about 1 point above the state. Most other grade-subject results were below state rates; in math, every grade was at or below the state, although 7th- and 8th-grade results were each within 1 point of California’s rate. The school’s strongest all-grades subject relative to the state is science, but it remains slightly below the statewide level.

Scores improved in math and science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while ELA declined: math rose 5 points and science rose 23, while ELA fell 4. As a result, the gap with California narrowed in math and science but widened in ELA. SchoolDigger gives the school 1 star and ranks it 4,369th of 5,804 schools, in the 25th percentile; its percentile is up 3 points from 2023–2024, when it also had 1 star. Chronic absenteeism was 12% in 2025–2026, 6 points below the state rate. For context, 63% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 23.3:1 in 2024–2025.
