Summary:

The 13 schools in San Leandro Unified include eight elementary schools, two middle schools, two high schools and a K–12 alternative school, serving families from elementary through high school. In 2025–2026, the schools’ unweighted all-grades averages were 38% in English language arts (ELA), 28% in math and 30% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding is that school results vary sharply, so districtwide averages conceal very different academic experiences.

Madison Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary stand out, with different strengths. Madison led all-grades math at 58% and science at 55%, and was second in ELA at 58%; those results were about 19 points above the state in math and science and 9 points above in ELA. Roosevelt led ELA at 63% and placed second in math at 53%, about 14 and 15 points above state results. Roosevelt also led elementary ELA in grade 4, while Madison led elementary math in grades 3, 4 and 5. At the other end, Lincoln High (Continuation) had the lowest all-grades results in every listed subject: 15% in ELA, 0% in math and 11% in science. The middle schools split the comparison: John Muir Middle led Bancroft Middle in all-grades results, though Bancroft did slightly better in grade 7 math.

Average results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, especially in science: science rose 5 points, while ELA and math each rose about 1 point; math did not keep pace with the state’s increase. Changes differed by school: San Leandro Virtual Academy science increased 21 points, while Monroe Elementary science fell 8 points. SchoolDigger ranking percentiles also moved in different directions from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026: Bancroft rose 11 points and Muir 10, while Garfield Elementary fell 21. The shared low-income measure is free/reduced lunch eligible, 2024–2025: its reported share ranged from 46% at Roosevelt to 85% at Jefferson Elementary, while Madison still led in math and science with 69%. Student–teacher ratios also don’t form a simple pattern: Roosevelt’s was 24.9, compared with 12.7 at low-scoring Lincoln. All-grades comparisons are broad because schools serve different grade spans and settings.
