Summary:
The six schools in the Romoland Elementary district serve kindergarten through eighth grade: four are K–5 elementary schools, Ethan A Chase Middle serves grades 6–8, and Hillside Innovation Academy serves K–8. In 2025–2026, the six-school averages were 40% in ELA, 28% in math, and 24% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The most important shared finding is that no school reached the state average in any of these all-grade subjects, and science had the largest average shortfall: 12 percentage points.
Boulder Ridge Elementary and Mesa View Elementary stand out, though neither exceeded the state rate. Boulder led ELA at 49%—less than 1 point below the state—and science at 31%; its ELA score was 11 points above the other schools’ average. Mesa led math at 38%, also less than 1 point below the state and 12 points above its five peers’ average. At the lower end, Harvest Valley Elementary had the lowest ELA (30%) and science (17%), while Hillside had the lowest math (17%). The strongest-to-weakest school gaps were 19 points in ELA, 21 in math, and 14 in science. Grade-level results show other strengths: Romoland Elementary led reported third-grade ELA and math, and Hillside led reported elementary fifth-grade science at 32%.
Recent changes were mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the six-school average fell 2 points in ELA and 1 in science, while rising 1 point in math; because state results improved, the gap widened most in science, by 5 points. SchoolDigger’s three-year rankings offer another perspective: Boulder rose from the 43rd to the 55th percentile, while Mesa fell from the 67th to the 51st; these are rankings, not test scores. Context measures also vary: 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures ranged from 56% at Mesa to 89% at Romoland Elementary, while student-teacher ratios ranged from 15.5 at Hillside to 25.3 at Boulder. Those contrasts do not align neatly with results: Hillside had the lowest ratio but lowest math score, while Boulder had the highest ratio and led ELA and science. Schools serve different grade spans, and Hillside’s third- and fourth-grade ELA and math results are suppressed.
