Summary
Healdsburg Elementary serves 401 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Healdsburg, California, as part of Healdsburg Unified. Its most important takeaway is a split academic profile: math and science proficiency are well above state and district rates, but English language arts (ELA) is below both.
Math is the school’s clearest strength: 60% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 38% statewide and 48% districtwide. Science was also strong at 49%, versus 36% statewide and 42% in the district. ELA proficiency was 47%, below the state’s 49% and the district’s 55%. Among nine nearby schools with all-grades results, Healdsburg ranked third in math, fourth in science, and seventh in ELA; it was 11 points above the nearby-school average in math, 7 points above in science, and 8 points below in ELA. Grade-level results show why the averages vary: fifth-grade ELA and math were strong at 65% and 63%, while third- and fourth-grade ELA were 36% and 39%.
Over time, math gained 3 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and science gained 15, though science dipped 2 points from its recent peak. ELA fell 2 points overall and dropped 8 points in the latest year, leaving it below the state after previously being above.

A notable difference in SchoolDigger’s rankings for how well the school serves student groups is Military Connected Students: 27th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 67th percentile the prior year and well below the school’s overall 70th-percentile standing.
