Summary

Barrett Ranch Elementary is a K–5 school in Antelope, California, serving 629 students in an area with several nearby elementary and TK–8 schools. Its most important concern is that ELA and math results are now below both state and district levels: in 2025–26, 40% of students were proficient in ELA and 36% in math, compared with 49% and 38% statewide, and 58% and 46% in the Dry Creek Joint Elementary district.

Science is the school’s strongest subject: 37% were proficient, about 1 percentage point above the state, though 12 points below the district. Barrett Ranch ranked third among 10 nearby schools in all-grades science, compared with fifth in ELA and math. The closest same-grade-span comparison is less favorable: ELA proficiency was 40% at Barrett Ranch, versus an average of 52% at Olive Grove Elementary and Antelope Meadows Elementary; in math, Barrett Ranch’s 36% was 14 points below their average. Results also vary by grade: fifth-grade ELA was 56%, 7 points above the state, while third-grade ELA was 29%, 15 points below it.

Results have weakened over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency fell 9 percentage points and math fell 7, while the state’s results rose in both subjects. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also slipped, from the 63rd percentile and 3 stars in 2022–23 to the 47th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–26; the school ranked 3,056 of 5,804 schools. Some context is favorable: its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 21.7, the lowest among the nearby schools, and 68% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism rose from 13% in 2024–25 to 16% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s subgroup measure showed English Language Learner Students at the 92nd percentile in 2021–22 and 2022–23, well above the school’s overall percentiles of 62 and 63. For Special Education Students, the measure fell from the 48th percentile in 2024–25 to the 13th in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 47th percentile.
