Summary

Douglas City Elementary serves 162 students in grades K–8 in Douglas City, California, among a small group of nearby K–8 schools. Its strongest headline is that 2025–2026 results were well above state averages in all three tested subjects: 65% in English language arts, 66% in math and 57% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide.

Math is its strongest result against nearby schools, while grade 4 ELA is a notable weak spot. The school’s math score was 28 points above both the state and the average for nearby schools with reportable scores; its ELA and science results were 16 and 21 points above the state, and 19 and 18 points above nearby averages. The supplied results for the Douglas City Elementary district match the school’s, so they offer no separate benchmark. In grade 4 ELA, the school scored 45%, about 1 point below the state’s 46%; grade 7 math, at 47%, was its lowest math grade result but remained above the state’s 38%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also show a gap: its ranking for White students was at the 51st percentile, compared with the school’s 83rd-percentile overall ranking. For Low Socio Economic Status Students, the ranking fell to the 71st percentile in 2025–2026 from the 87th percentile in 2023–2024.

Scores have stayed broadly flat at the endpoints, while science has swung more: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell about 1 point, math rose less than 1 point, and science fell 5 points after reaching 76% in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger ranked the school 998th of 5,804 statewide, at the 83rd percentile with 4 stars; its district ranked at the 90th percentile with 5 stars. Chronic absenteeism was just 2% in 2025–2026, 16 points below the state, and the student-teacher ratio was 16.9 in 2024–2025, below the nearby average of about 18. The school’s 2024–2025 measure was 51% free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby average of 64%; this is an income measure, not a measure of whether students can receive free meals. With 162 students, grade-level results can fluctuate with small groups of test-takers.
