Summary

Outside Creek Elementary in Visalia serves 125 students in grades K–8. Its clearest academic advantage is English Language Arts (ELA): 61% of students were proficient in 2025–26, the highest result among nearby schools with reported all-grade results. The key concern is attendance: chronic absenteeism reached 23%, up 10 percentage points from the prior year.

Compared with the state, the school was stronger in all three subjects in 2025–26: ELA was 61% versus 49%, math was 44% versus 38%, and science was 38% versus 36%. Locally, ELA was just 1 point ahead of Sundale Elementary, which had 60.9%; in math, Outside Creek ranked second, behind Sundale’s 52%. Its 38% science result tied Rocky Hill Elementary and trailed Sundale’s 40%. Results by grade show a notable math weakness: fourth-grade proficiency was 31%, 11 points below the state, even as fifth- and sixth-grade math were above state results. The reported district figures match the school’s in all three subjects, so they do not offer a separate benchmark.

Results improved from 2022–23 to 2025–26: ELA rose 19 points, math 20 points, and science 4 points, though science fluctuated considerably along the way. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from the 42nd percentile in 2021–22 to the 70th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s subgroup ranking for Hispanic Students rose from the 45th percentile in 2023–24 to the 86th in 2025–26, indicating a strong improvement in how well the school serves this group. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 26:1, the highest among the nearby ratios provided. In 2024–25, 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby-school average of 71%; California is a statewide-free-meals state, so this figure is context rather than a measure of whether students receive free meals. Nearby schools have different grade spans, and some results are unavailable or suppressed.
