Summary:

San Lorenzo Unified includes 16 schools—nine elementary, three middle and four high schools—with results reported across elementary, middle and high school grades. In 2025–2026, all-grades proficiency ranged from 0% to 47% in ELA, from 5% to 48% in math, and from 2% to 36% in science. The central finding for families is that results vary sharply from school to school, rather than showing one consistent pattern across the area.

Arroyo High led the high schools in all three subjects, with 47% proficient in ELA, 27% in math and 34% in science; its ELA result was 2 points below the state rate. Dayton Elementary had the highest all-grades math result at 48%, 10 points above the state, and its grade 3 math result was 64%, 17 points above the state for that grade. Bay Elementary was near the state rate in all-grades science, with 36%, and exceeded the grade 4 math state rate by 14 points. At the lower end, Royal Sunset (Continuation) had the lowest ELA result at 0% and tied with San Lorenzo High for the lowest math result, at 5%; Hillside Elementary had the lowest science result, at 2%.

Recent changes were mixed: the unweighted average across schools fell 2 points in ELA, rose 1 point in math and rose 1 point in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. The math average kept pace with the state’s increase, while the average gaps widened in ELA and science. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking rose from the 18th to the 36th percentile for East Bay Arts High, but fell from the 71st to the 53rd for Arroyo High. Context measures also differ: 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 70% at Bay, 71% at Dayton and 87% at Hillside. Bay and Dayton’s student-teacher ratios were 22.1 and 22.9, compared with 19.3 at Corvallis Elementary; Corvallis’s all-grades math result was 28%, below Bay’s 44% and Dayton’s 48%. These measures describe school differences but do not explain them.
