Summary

Rosa Parks Environmental Science is a 393-student K–5 elementary school in Berkeley, in the East Bay. Its standout finding is that 2025–26 proficiency rates were above both Berkeley Unified and California in English language arts (ELA), math, and science.

Science is Rosa’s strongest subject relative to its district and the state: 70% of students were proficient, compared with 58% in the district and 36% statewide—a 12-point and 35-point advantage. ELA proficiency was 77% (district 72%, state 49%), while math was 76% (district 67%, state 38%). Among eight nearby K–5 schools, Rosa was fifth of nine in ELA, third in math, and fourth in science. Its results were 3 points above the nearby-school average in ELA, 5 points above in math, and 6 points above in science. Performance also varies by grade: third-grade ELA was 86%, second-highest among peers, and fifth-grade math was 81%, the highest; fourth-grade ELA (70%) and math (69%) each ranked seventh among peers.

Results have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose 7 points to 77%, math rose 8 points to 76%, and science rose 7 points to 70%. Rosa’s lead over the state widened by 4 points in both ELA and math. SchoolDigger ranks Rosa 392nd out of 5,804 schools, at the 93rd percentile with five stars; the nearby-school average is about the 90th percentile, so Rosa is strong locally but not the top-ranked school. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 20.3, tied for the lowest reported among peers. Also in 2024–25, 34% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, above the nearby-school average of 31%; these are context measures, not explanations for test results. SchoolDigger’s 2018–19 rankings for how well the school served student groups were notably lower for African American students (33rd percentile versus 84th overall) and multiracial students (13th versus 84th). Those group rankings are historical, not current-year results.
