Fieldbrook Elementary

Public Grades K-8

Summary

Fieldbrook Elementary is a small K–8 school in McKinleyville, California, serving 90 students. Its latest results show a stronger profile than the statewide results overall, but achievement varies by subject. The clearest finding is science: in 2025–2026, 64% of students were proficient, 28 points above the state and higher than all three nearby K–8 peers with results that year.

Science is also where the school stands out most among nearby schools: it ranked first of four, while placing second in ELA and third in math. ELA proficiency was 56%, 7 points above the state and 2 points above the nearby K–8 average. Math was 40%, only 2 points above the state and 4 points below the nearby average. For comparison, Jacoby Creek, Pacific Union Elementary and Blue Lake Union Elementary had an average science result of 49%. The reported Fieldbrook Elementary district results match the school’s in every subject and year shown, so they do not provide a separate comparison.

Results rebounded in 2025–2026 after all three subjects fell below state results the year before: proficiency rose 10 points in ELA, 6 in math and 43 in science. Across the four years shown, however, results fluctuated; from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 10 points, math rose 1 point and science rose 20 points. SchoolDigger’s latest rating was 47th percentile with 2 stars in 2024–2025, down 23 percentile points from 70th percentile with 4 stars the year before; a ranking for 2025–2026 is not provided. Context includes a 15.0 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025, compared with the nearby average of 18.1, and 39% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s older White Students subgroup ranking was 57th percentile in 2021–2022, 15 points below the school’s overall 72nd percentile that year. With 90 students, results may be sensitive to small changes in student counts.
