Summary

Pinedale Elementary serves 433 students in grades K–6 in Pinedale, California, within Clovis Unified. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were 39% in English language arts (ELA), 25% in math and 21% in science. The most important finding is that its results remain below state, district and nearby-school averages in all three subjects.

ELA is Pinedale’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, while math is its clearest weakness: it ranked 7th of 11 schools in ELA, 10th in math and 9th in science. Its scores were 9 percentage points below nearby-school averages in ELA, 16 points below in math and 8 points below in science. Compared with the state, it was behind by 10 points in ELA, 13 in math and 15 in science; compared with Clovis Unified, the gaps were 30, 30 and 31 points. Results vary by grade: third grade was a relative bright spot, with ELA and math above state rates, while fourth-grade ELA and math were the lowest among the nearby schools.

Scores have improved since 2022–23, especially in ELA, which rose 15 points and narrowed its state gap by 13 points. Science increased 7 points, but math rose only 3; its gap with the state widened by about 1 point. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking improved from the 21st to the 34th percentile, and its rating rose from 1 to 2 stars, though it remains near the lower end of the nearby group. One notable subgroup result is that SchoolDigger ranks Special Education Students at the 15th percentile, below the school’s overall 34th percentile. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 44% in 2021–22 to 22% in 2025–26, but remains above the state’s 18% and district’s 13%. The student-teacher ratio is 18.8, and 91% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. These figures provide context, not an explanation for school results.
