Summary

Dover Elementary is a K–5 school in Fairfield, California, with 463 students in the Fairfield-Suisun area. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 14% in English language arts (ELA), 8% in math, and 5% in science. The most important finding is that results were below district and state rates in all three subjects, and Dover ranked last in ELA and math among seven nearby K–5 schools with reported scores.

Among those nearby schools, Dover’s results were also well below the peer averages: 14% in ELA versus 31%, 8% in math versus 24%, and 5% in science versus 20%. It ranked second-lowest in science. Compared with the Fairfield-Suisun Unified district, Dover was behind by 27 percentage points in ELA, 20 in math, and 23 in science; compared with California, the gaps were 36, 30, and 31 points. Math is the closest of the three subjects to district and state rates, while ELA is the furthest behind the nearby-school average.

Results have improved modestly since 2022–23 in ELA and math, but fell in the latest year: ELA dropped 5 points from 2024–25, math fell 4 points, and science dipped by less than 1 point. Meanwhile, Dover’s gaps to state results widened in all three subjects in the latest year.
