Summary

Isleton Elementary serves 188 students in grades K–6 in Isleton, in California’s Delta region. Its clearest distinction is its strong achievement: in 2025–2026, it had the highest reported all-grade proficiency among nearby schools in ELA, math, and science, and scored above both its district and the state in all three subjects.

The school’s biggest advantage over nearby schools is in science: 60% were proficient, 27 points above the next-highest reported nearby result at Summer Lake Elementary. In math, Isleton’s 53% was 22 points above Summer Lake’s 32%; in ELA, its 55% was 12 points above Knightsen Elementary’s 43%. Isleton also exceeded River Delta Joint Unified by 17 points in ELA, 32 in math, and 35 in science, and the state by 6, 15, and 24 points, respectively. Third grade is the clearest weakness: ELA was 8 points below the state and math was 15 points below. Scores rose above the state in both subjects in grades 4–6. Bates Elementary’s science score is state-suppressed, so it is not part of the nearby comparison.

Over time, math rose from 42% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 53% in 2025–2026, while science increased from 46% to 60%, with a dip along the way. ELA edged up from 52% to 55% over that span but fell from 61% the previous year. Attendance improved notably: chronic absenteeism dropped from 33% in 2021–2022 to 8% in 2025–2026, the lowest rate among nearby schools. SchoolDigger places Isleton at the 73rd percentile with 4 stars, ahead of nearby Summer Lake Elementary at the 41st percentile. Context for families: the 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 79%, and the student-teacher ratio was 23.5:1, toward the higher end of the nearby range. With 188 students, year-to-year test percentages may be sensitive to the number tested.
