SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 7% of California elementary schools

Summary

Orville Wright Elementary serves 399 students in grades K–6 in Modesto, California, as part of Modesto City Elementary. Its 2025–2026 results were below district and state averages in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The clearest concern is ELA: 16% of students were proficient overall, making the school second-lowest among 10 nearby schools with comparable results, while just 2% of sixth graders were proficient—the lowest result among nearby schools reporting that grade.

Science is the school’s strongest subject relative to local comparisons, while ELA is its weakest. Science proficiency was 16%, close to the nearby-school average of 18%, but below the district’s 22% and the state’s 36%. Math proficiency was 17%, compared with 25% nearby, 24% districtwide, and 38% statewide. ELA’s 16% was well below the nearby average of 33%, the district’s 35%, and the state’s 49%. There is a brighter spot in third-grade math: 36% were proficient, 5 percentage points above the district result, though below the state’s 47%.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: proficiency rose by 5 percentage points in ELA, 11 in math, and 11 in science, and the gaps to the state narrowed by 2, 7, and 5 points, respectively. Even so, Orville Wright remains well below state proficiency levels. SchoolDigger places it at the 7th percentile statewide and gives it 0 stars. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 24.6, versus a nearby-school average of 23.1; its free/reduced lunch eligible rate that year was 93%, compared with a nearby average of 86%. In SchoolDigger’s 2023–2024 rankings, English Language Learner Students were at the 30th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 3rd percentile; in 2024–2025, Special Education Students ranked at the 18th percentile, versus 2nd overall.
