Summary
Newberry Springs Elementary serves 106 students in kindergarten through grade five in Newberry Springs, California. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was above the district in ELA, math and science, but below the state in ELA and math. The clearest concern is third-grade math: 17% of students were proficient, compared with 41% in the district and 47% statewide.
Science is the school’s strongest subject against state and district results: 38% were proficient, 2 percentage points above the state and 3 above the district. ELA was 44% and math 33%, just 1 and 2 points above the district, respectively, but 5 points below the state in each subject. Compared with nearby schools, though, Newberry Springs led Yermo Elementary, Cameron Elementary and Montara Elementary in all-grades ELA and math; its results were 20 points above their average in ELA and 12 points above in math. Grade-level results add important context: fourth-grade math was 46%, above both the district’s 34% and state’s 42%, while fifth-grade ELA was 65%, above the district’s 56% and the state’s 49%.
Longer-term results improved in ELA and science: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 15 percentage points and science rose 34, while math rose 4. Recent results were less steady: ELA fell 15 points from the prior year, while science rose 11. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 51st percentile and gave it 3 stars in 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, its student-teacher ratio was 14.3, the lowest among the nearby schools, and 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves White Students was at the 25th percentile, below its 51st-percentile overall ranking; for Hispanic Students, its ranking fell from the 80th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 52nd in 2025–2026, close to its current overall percentile.
