Summary

Muir (John) Elementary serves 660 students in grades K–5 in Antioch Unified. Its 2025–2026 results put it among the stronger nearby schools in English language arts (ELA) and science, but below California’s proficiency rates in all three tested subjects. The central takeaway is that Muir stands out locally, especially in ELA and science, while still having room to improve compared with the state.

ELA is a particular local strength: 40% of Muir students were proficient, second-highest among nine nearby schools with results, behind Diablo Vista Elementary at 42%. Muir’s rate was 12 percentage points above Antioch Unified and 10 points below the state. In science, Muir’s 29% tied Diablo Vista and trailed Thomas Gaines Virtual Academy at 35%; it was 11 points above the district and 7 below the state. Math is the weakest subject in comparison with the state: Muir’s 25% was 13 points below California, though 9 points above the district. Among nearby schools, Muir ranked fourth in math, behind Rocketship Delta Prep, Diablo Vista and Thomas Gaines.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: proficiency rose 13 percentage points in ELA, 6 in math and 13 in science, including a 14-point science jump in the latest year. The state gaps narrowed overall in ELA and science, but math’s gap widened slightly in the latest year. Math also declined by 18 points from grade 3 to grade 5. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from the 16th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 35th in 2025–2026; Muir has 2 stars and ranks 3,787 of 5,804. Its 20.6 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 is near the middle of nearby schools, and 59% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism fell from 41% in 2021–2022 to 27% in 2025–2026, but remains 8 percentage points above the state rate. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Hispanic students rose from the 18th to the 54th percentile; its measure for students in special education was at the 7th percentile, compared with Muir’s overall 35th.
