Summary
H. Clarke Powers Elementary in Loomis, California, serves grades K–8 and enrolls 495 students. In 2025–2026, students performed above California averages in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but below the district in ELA and math. The main takeaway is that science is a local strength, while ELA and math are where the school has the most ground to make up.
Compared with the state, the school was ahead by 12 percentage points in ELA, 20 in math, and 28 in science. Local comparisons are less favorable in ELA and math: its proficiency rates were 8 points below the nearby-school average in ELA and 9 points below in math, and each result was higher than only two of the ten nearby schools. Science stood out in the other direction, 8 points above the nearby average and higher than seven nearby schools. Compared with Loomis Union Elementary, the school was 9 points lower in ELA and 6 lower in math, but 4 points higher in science. Chronic absenteeism is a local concern: 9.7% of students were chronically absent, higher than every nearby school, whose rates ranged up to 9.6%, though below the district’s 8% and state’s 18%.
Results have shifted over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, science proficiency rose 11 points, while ELA fell 7 and math fell 6. SchoolDigger ranks the school in the 80th statewide percentile with 4 stars, compared with the district’s 91st percentile and 5 stars; the school’s percentile has declined 9 points since 2021–2022. Its student-teacher ratio was 22.2 in 2024–2025, and 15% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, within the nearby-school range of 7%–40%. SchoolDigger’s rankings for student groups also show differences in how well the school serves those groups: its Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking was at the 62nd percentile, 18 points below the overall ranking, and its White Students ranking was at the 55th percentile, 25 points below overall.
