Summary:
Semitropic Elementary is the only school listed in this area, serving kindergarten through grade 8 and enrolling 140 students, so there are no local schools to compare directly. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was 5% in math and 19% in English language arts (ELA), compared with 38% and 49% statewide; science was closer, at 33% versus 36%. The most important finding for families is that math and ELA results were substantially below state figures, while science was much closer.
There is no local top or bottom school: Semitropic Elementary is the sole entry. Its strongest result against California was eighth-grade science, where 38% of students were proficient versus 35% statewide, a 3-point advantage. That stands out against the school’s all-grades science result, which was 3 points below the state. The largest all-grades shortfall was math, at 33 points below California; ELA was 30 points below. These differences show that the school’s results varied notably by subject.
Results moved in different directions over the two years: science proficiency rose 33 points, from 0% to 33%, while ELA fell 11 points and math fell 5 points. The science gap narrowed by 30 points, but the ELA and math gaps widened by 12 and 7 points, respectively. SchoolDigger’s reported percentile declined from 19 in 2023–2024 to 10 in 2024–2025 and 1 in 2025–2026; its rating went from 1 star to 0 stars. Context measures include a 14.5 student–teacher ratio and 61% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 14%, compared with 18% statewide, a 5-point lower rate. These figures provide context, but do not explain the school’s test results.
