Summary:
Middle-school options in Washington Union Elementary consist of one school, San Benancio Middle, which serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 261 students. With no other middle schools in the list, families can assess this school’s results but not compare it with another school in the area. The most important finding is that San Benancio scored above the state in ELA, mathematics, and science in 2025–2026, with its largest advantage in mathematics.
San Benancio Middle is the only school to assess, so there is no area-wide top or bottom school; within the school, ELA was its strongest subject and science its lowest. In 2025–2026, ELA was 62% versus 49% statewide, mathematics was 57% versus 38%, and science was 54% versus 36%. The school’s advantages were 12 points in ELA, 19 in mathematics, and 18 in science. By grade, grade 7 led ELA and mathematics, at 67% and 64%; grade 8 had the lowest ELA result, at 58%. Every grade was above its same-grade state figures, though the ELA advantage ranged from 8 points in grade 8 to 16 in grade 7.
Results shifted in different directions year over year: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA fell by 6 points, while mathematics rose by 3 and science by 4. The state advantage narrowed in ELA, from 19 points to 12, but widened in mathematics, from 17 to 19, and science, from 17 to 18. SchoolDigger placed the school in the 85th percentile in 2025–2026 (418 of 2,703), slightly below its 86th-percentile standing in 2024–2025 (373 of 2,761). Context measures include 10% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025 and a 21.7 student–teacher ratio that year. Chronic absenteeism was 6% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 4% but below the state’s 18%. With one school listed, these figures cannot establish patterns between school characteristics and achievement.
