Summary

Cleo Gordon Elementary is a K–5 school with 464 students in Fairfield, California, in the Fairfield-Suisun Unified district. In 2025–2026, 21% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 11% in math, and 8% in science—below both district and state results in every subject. The most important concern is that the state gap has widened since 2022–2023, particularly in math and science.

ELA is a relative bright spot among nearby K–5 schools: Cleo Gordon ranked second of eight, with 21% proficiency. Math was a weaker local result, ranking sixth of eight; only two nearby schools scored lower. Science was third-lowest among the same schools. Compared with the state, Cleo Gordon was behind by 28 percentage points in ELA, 27 in math, and 28 in science; it trailed the district by 20, 17, and 20 points, respectively. Fourth-grade math stands out as a particular concern: just 6% were proficient, 37 points below the state, and this was the lowest result among the eight comparable schools.

Results have fallen since 2022–2023: ELA went from 23% to 21%, math from 17% to 11%, and science from 17% to 8%. Over that period, the state gap grew by 5 points in ELA, 10 in math, and 15 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Cleo Gordon at the 4th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, down from the 13th percentile in 2022–2023, and gives it 0 stars; it ties Fairview Elementary. The school reported that 91% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and its student–teacher ratio was 24.4 that year, around the middle of nearby K–5 schools. One notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Special Education Students rose from the 19th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 56th percentile in 2024–2025, while the overall ranking was at the 9th percentile that year. Its African American Students ranking was at the 18th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 4th-percentile ranking.
