Summary

Tarpey Elementary is a K–6 school in Clovis, California, serving 643 students in Clovis Unified. Its 2025–2026 results were slightly above the state average in all three tested subjects, but the school remains behind its district and nearby peers. The clearest concern is sixth-grade math: 25% of Tarpey sixth-graders were proficient, compared with 37% statewide and 57% in the district.

Fourth grade is a relative strength, especially in math: 54% of Tarpey fourth-graders were proficient, 12 percentage points above the state; this was the second-highest result among Tarpey and six nearby district schools. By contrast, third-grade math proficiency was 37%, 10 points below the state. Across all grades, Tarpey scored 51% in ELA, 39% in math and 38% in science—2, less than 1, and 2 points above state averages, respectively. But it was below the district by 18 points in ELA, 17 in math and 15 in science, and below the nearby-school average by 4, 8 and 3 points. Among those peers, Tarpey ranks relatively better in science than math.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose 7 percentage points, math 9 and science 10, moving each subject above the state average. SchoolDigger gives Tarpey 3 stars and ranks it at the 60th percentile for 2025–2026, tied with Weldon Elementary and behind five of nine nearby schools with rankings. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 20.8, and 77% of students were eligible for free/reduced-price lunch that year—the second-highest share among nearby schools in the district. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well Tarpey serves Asian students was at the 24th percentile in 2025–2026, 36 points below its overall percentile; its ranking for White students was at the 34th percentile, 26 points below overall.
