Summary

Curtis Creek Elementary serves 410 students in grades K–8 in Sonora, California. In 2025–2026, its results were close to its district’s but well below California’s in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The central concern for families is that the school’s overall proficiency is low compared with the state and most nearby schools.

The clearest strength is third grade: ELA proficiency was 71%, above the state’s 44% and higher than nearby schools with reported results; math was 51%, also above the state’s 47%. Results drop in later grades. Seventh-grade ELA was 17% versus 51% statewide, and seventh-grade math was 14% versus 38%; both were the lowest among nearby schools with reported results. Across all grades, ELA was 32.0% at Curtis Creek versus 31.8% in the district and 49% statewide; math was 21.6% versus 21.5% and 38%; science was 18% versus 18% and 36%. Nearby-school averages were 43% in ELA, 32% in math, and 34% in science, leaving Curtis Creek 11, 10, and 17 points lower, respectively.

All-grades results have declined since 2022–2023: ELA fell 3 points, math 8, and science 4, while the gap with the state widened in every subject. SchoolDigger gave Curtis Creek a statewide rank at the 30th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026, down from the 50th percentile the prior year; it ranked third-lowest among nearby schools with current rankings. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 20.3, among the highest locally. In 2024–2025, 52% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, close to the nearby-school average of 54%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Special Education Students was notably higher: the group ranked at the 90th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school overall at the 50th percentile. In 2025–2026, White Students ranked at the 13th percentile versus 30th overall, a notably lower standing.
