Summary:
Twain Harte is the only school represented in the area: a kindergarten-through-eighth-grade school with 258 students. With no other schools in the list, families cannot compare schools against one another here. The most important finding is that in 2025–2026 the school was above California in math and science, but below the state in ELA.
Twain Harte is the area’s only school, rather than a meaningful school-level leader or trailer. Its strongest grade-level result was third-grade math: 68% proficient, 21 percentage points above California. Third-grade ELA was also strong at 59%, 15 points above the state. The clearest shortfall was fourth-grade ELA, at 18% proficient—28 points below California; fifth-grade math was another weak spot, at 24%, 13 points below the state. Across all grades in 2025–2026, math was 41% versus 38% statewide and science was 40% versus 36%, while ELA was 42% versus 49%.
Results improved in math and science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while ELA declined: math rose 6 percentage points and science 4, but ELA fell 3. SchoolDigger gave the school 3 stars in each of the three reported years, while its statewide percentile slipped from 62 in 2023–2024 to 57 in 2025–2026. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 19.1 in 2024–2025, and 65% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was higher than the state rate in 2025–2026: 22% at the school versus 18% statewide, a 4-point gap. These figures offer context about the school, but do not explain its test results.
