Summary

Newhall Elementary is a K–6 school serving 493 students in Newhall, California, an area with several nearby elementary-school options. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were 34% in English language arts (ELA), 21% in math and 22% in science; the Newhall district scored 70%, 63% and 54%, respectively, and statewide results were 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding is that the school’s results are substantially below its district, the state and nearby-school averages in all three subjects.

Math is the school’s clearest weakness, while science is a relative bright spot only because its gaps are smaller. Compared with the district, Newhall is behind by 43 points in math, 35 in ELA and 32 in science; compared with the state, it is behind by 17, 15 and 14 points, respectively. The ten nearby schools average 59% in math, 64% in ELA and 48% in science. Newhall falls below every nearby school in ELA and math, and its science result is about 1 point below the lowest nearby result. Within the school, fourth-grade ELA is especially low at 22%, and math ranges from 42% in third grade to 15% in sixth grade.

Over the four reported years, ELA and science improved by about 8 points each, while math declined by about 2 points overall and fell 5 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger rates Newhall at the 25th percentile and 1 star for 2025–2026, below every nearby school, including Wiley Canyon Elementary at the 58th percentile and Pico Canyon Elementary at the 94th. In 2024–2025, 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the student–teacher ratio was 24.6:1, near the middle of the nearby-school range. One notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger placed the school at the 73rd percentile for how well it serves English Language Learner Students in 2023–2024, compared with its overall 27th percentile that year. Chronic absenteeism has also declined, from 22% in 2021–2022 to 11% in 2025–2026, though the latest rate remains above the district’s 8%.
