Summary

Sulphur Springs Community Elementary serves 586 students in grades K–6 in Canyon Country, California. Its results vary by subject rather than pointing to one consistent level of achievement: science is its clearest academic strength, while ELA is the main area of concern.

Science proficiency was 39% in 2025–2026, about 3 percentage points above both the state and Sulphur Springs Union, and third-highest among the 10 nearby K–6 schools. Math was 42%, 4 points above the state and essentially even with the district, placing fifth among nearby schools. ELA was 48%, 1 point below the state and 2 below the district; it was seventh among nearby schools, whose average was 50%. Grade-level results add important context: third-grade ELA and math were above state and district results, while fifth-grade math was below the state and eighth of nine nearby schools, and sixth-grade ELA was below the district and seven of nine nearby schools.

Over four years, ELA proficiency fell by 5 percentage points, while math rose by 7 and science by 3; science stayed above the state, but its advantage narrowed from 6 points to 3. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 61st statewide percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, in the middle of its nearby group and 20 percentile points below its 2018–2019 standing. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 22.5, the lowest among nearby schools. In that same year, 50% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby average of 66%. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell to the 44th percentile in 2025–2026, 27 points below its 2023–2024 level and below the school’s overall percentile of 61; its ranking for Special Education Students rose to the 53rd percentile from 36 the prior year.
