Summary:
Weaver Union has three schools serving kindergarten through grade eight: two K–5 elementary schools and one grades 6–8 middle school. In 2025–26, all three schools were below state proficiency rates in every supplied all-grades subject result. Across the schools, average proficiency was 37% in ELA, 31% in math, and 18% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%; science had the largest average state gap, at 18 percentage points. The clearest shared concern in these results is science proficiency.
Pioneer Elementary had the strongest all-grades results among the schools, leading Farmdale Elementary by 2 percentage points in ELA, 2 in math, and 8 in science: Pioneer scored 40%, 34%, and 23%, while Farmdale scored 37%, 32%, and 15%. Weaver Middle had the lowest all-grades ELA and math rates, at 33% and 26%—6 and 8 points below the highest school rates. Grade-level results add important nuance: Farmdale’s fourth-grade ELA was 46%, narrowly above the state rate, while Pioneer led Farmdale by 16 points in fifth-grade ELA. Both elementary schools were below state results in fifth-grade ELA and math.
Recent results were mixed, but the three-school averages fell by 2 points in ELA and 4 in math from 2024–25 to 2025–26; science rose by 2 points, as Pioneer gained 5 and Farmdale gained 3 while Weaver fell by 2. The average gap to the state widened in all three subjects. SchoolDigger lists all three schools at two stars; its latest percentiles are 41st for Pioneer, 36th for Farmdale, and 30th for Weaver. Context measures differ too: 2024–25 student–teacher ratios were 20.3, 20.7, and 22.1, respectively, and 2025–26 chronic absenteeism was 22% at Pioneer, 17% at Farmdale, and 21% at Weaver. The reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares for school year 2024–25 were 91%, 93%, and 94%, respectively; these are contextual measures, not explanations for test results.
