Summary:
The Summerville area list includes one school, Summerville Elementary, a K–8 school serving 457 students; test results cover 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. In 2025–2026, its all-grades English language arts (ELA) proficiency was 47%, close to California’s 49%, while science was 27% versus 36% statewide. Mathematics is the biggest concern: 21% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide, a 17-point shortfall.
Because it is the only school in the list, there is no meaningful local comparison of top- and bottom-performing schools. Within the school, 8th-grade ELA stands out: 65% were proficient, 16 points above California’s 49%. The clearest shortfall is 4th-grade math, where 13% were proficient versus 42% statewide, a 29-point gap. The grade patterns differ sharply: ELA was below the state in grades 3–6 but above it in grades 7 and 8; math was nearly level with the state in 3rd grade, then 16 to 29 points below in grades 4–8.
Recent changes are mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, all-grades ELA improved by 6 points and its gap with California narrowed by 5 points, while math fell by 1 point and its gap widened by 2 points. Science rose by 2 points, but its gap widened by 2 points as well. SchoolDigger rates the school 2 stars; its ranking rose from the 31st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 36th percentile in 2025–2026, after being at the 37th percentile in 2023–2024. Contextual figures include a 19.8 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 45% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 17%, compared with 18% statewide. These figures describe the school’s context, but the single-school list cannot show whether they are related to its test results.
