Summary:
Tipton Elementary is the only school in this list, serving kindergarten through eighth grade and enrolling 485 students in the Tipton area. In 2025–2026, its all-grade proficiency was below California’s in all three reported subjects: 38% in ELA versus 49% statewide, 27% in math versus 38%, and 28% in science versus 36%. Math had the widest shortfall, 12 percentage points below the state, while science had the narrowest, 8 points below. The clearest overall finding is that the school trails state results in every subject, with math the greatest concern.
Results differ substantially by grade, with eighth-grade ELA standing out as a strength and third-grade math as the weakest comparison. In 2025–2026, 56% of eighth graders were proficient in ELA, 7 percentage points above California’s 49%. By contrast, third-grade ELA proficiency was 25%, 19 points below the state’s 44%; third-grade math was 20%, 27 points below California’s 47%. Math remained below the state in every reported grade, with the smallest gap in seventh grade at 7 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school 4,138th of 5,804 schools in 2025–2026, at the 29th percentile with one star.
The two-year subject trend is mixed: science improved, while math weakened and ELA was nearly flat. Science rose from 20% in 2024–2025 to 28% in 2025–2026, narrowing its state gap by 5 percentage points; math fell from 29% to 27%, and its gap widened by 3 points. ELA was nearly unchanged, at 38.1% and 38.0%, while its gap widened by 1 point. SchoolDigger’s ranking moved from the 27th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 30th in 2024–2025, then to the 29th in 2025–2026. Other context: chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide; the student–teacher ratio was 17.8 in 2024–2025; and 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025.
