Seeley Union Elementary

The Seeley Union Elementary area has one school, Seeley Elementary, serving kindergarten through 8th grade and enrolling 325 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was 38% in English language arts (ELA), 35% in math and 16% in science, compared with California’s 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. With no other local school for comparison, the clearest finding is that math is closest to the state, while science is the largest gap.

There is no meaningful school-to-school top or bottom in a one-school area, but results differ considerably by grade and subject. Fifth grade was Seeley’s lowest-performing grade in all three subjects: 26% in ELA, 23% in math and 9% in science. The strongest grade-level results were 58% in 7th-grade ELA—8 points above the state—and 51% in 3rd-grade math, 4 points above the state. Eighth grade had the school’s highest science result, at 26%. These contrasts show that the all-grades averages do not describe every grade equally.

ELA and math improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while science declined: Seeley gained 6 points in ELA and 11 in math, but fell 2 points in science. SchoolDigger’s rating also rose from 1 star and the 19th percentile to 2 stars and the 33rd percentile over those years. Attendance is a relative bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 8% in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide. For additional context, the student–teacher ratio was 21.6 in 2024–2025, and 93% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year. These figures describe the school and its reported measures; they do not establish what explains its academic results.
