Summary:
The elementary-school list for Trinidad Union Elementary contains one school, Trinidad Union, a K–8 school with 161 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades results were above California in mathematics (47% versus 38%, a 9-point advantage) and science (43% versus 36%, a 7-point advantage), but below the state in ELA (45% versus 49%, 4 points lower). Its average across these subjects was 4 points above the state. Most importantly, those overall results hide a sharp grade-level divide: grade 7 was far below state results in both ELA and mathematics.
Because Trinidad Union is the only school in the list, there is no meaningful peer-school leader or laggard. Within the school, grade 3 had the strongest ELA comparison: 77% proficient versus 44% statewide, 33 points higher; grade 7 was the weakest, at 9% versus 51%, 41 points lower. Mathematics showed a similar split: grade 5 was 67% versus 37% statewide, 30 points higher, while grade 7 was 9% versus 38%, 28 points lower. These contrasts make grade-level results important context alongside the schoolwide figures.
