The clearest takeaway for families is that the school beats state and district results in all three subjects, while several nearby schools perform even better.
The school’s strongest relative result depends on the comparison: math leads against the state and district, while ELA has the largest advantage over nearby-school averages. Its math proficiency was 15 percentage points above California and 10 points above the district; ELA was 13 points above the state and 8 above the district. Compared with the nine nearby K–6 schools, its results were 4 points above the average in ELA, 2 points above in math, and 3 points above in science. Still, it ranked fifth of ten schools in ELA and math, and sixth in science; science is its weakest local position.
Results have improved overall since 2022–23, especially in science, which rose from 34% to 43%—an 8-point gain—though scores did not increase steadily each year. SchoolDigger ranks the school 1,322nd out of 5,804 statewide, at the 77th percentile with four stars; locally, its percentile is just above the nearby-school average, but five schools rank higher. In 2024–25, its student–teacher ratio was 25.4, compared with a nearby average of 23.7, and 50% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, versus a nearby average of 58%. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well it serves African American students places the school at the 96th percentile, compared with the 77th percentile overall; for Asian students, it is at the 28th percentile.
