Summary

Harry Dewey Fundamental Elementary serves 408 students in grades K–6 in Fair Oaks, within San Juan Unified. In 2025–2026, reported all-grades proficiency was 44% in English language arts (ELA), 33% in math and 42% in science. Among 11 nearby schools, Harry Dewey had the second-highest reported result in each subject, behind Cambridge Heights Elementary. The key takeaway is that Harry Dewey performs especially well compared with nearby schools, but its ELA and math results remain below the state.

Science is the school’s clearest strength against state and district results: 42% proficiency compares with 36% statewide and 31% districtwide. ELA was 44%, above the district’s 40% but below the state’s 49%; math was 33%, above the district’s 29% but below the state’s 38%. Results also vary sharply by grade. Fourth-grade ELA was 56%, the highest among nearby schools reporting results, and fourth-grade math was 50%, second to Cambridge Heights. Fifth-grade math, however, was 12%, below the nearby-school average of 17%, the district’s 24% and the state’s 37%. All-grades comparisons are not perfectly like for like because nearby schools have different grade spans.

Over time, science has improved while ELA and math have declined: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, science rose 6 percentage points, while ELA fell 5 points and math fell 8. SchoolDigger rates Harry Dewey at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars (rank 2,810 of 5,804), down from the 78th percentile in 2018–2019; Cambridge Heights is at the 71st percentile. SchoolDigger’s statewide group ratings show a notable difference: its rating for how well Harry Dewey serves White Students is at the 25th percentile, 27 points below the school’s overall percentile. For Special Education Students, the rating rose 20 points from 2023–2024 to the 60th percentile in 2025–2026. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 22:1, compared with a nearby-school average of 23.4:1. In 2024–2025, 45% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby schools’ reported range of 50%–82%.
