Summary

Yukon Elementary is a K–5 school in Torrance, California, serving 296 students in the South Bay community as part of Torrance Unified. Its overall results are above California’s averages, but the all-grade figures hide a pronounced fourth-grade dip: fourth graders scored 42% in English language arts (ELA) and 44% in math, compared with about 66% in both subjects in grades three and five. The most important finding for families is that fourth grade is a clear academic weak spot, with results 23 points below the district in ELA and 24 points below in math.

Yukon’s strongest comparison is science: 57% of students were proficient, 21 points above the state and 1 point above the district, and the school ranked third among 11 nearby schools. Math proficiency was 57%, well above the state by 19 points but 4 points below the district; ELA was 58%, 8 points above the state but 10 points below the district. Among nearby schools, Yukon ranked sixth in math and seventh in ELA. Results vary across the area: Mark Twain Elementary had higher ELA and math results but lower science results, while Washington Elementary had higher ELA and math but lower science.

Results improved from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 10 points, math 5 points and science 23 points, though ELA dipped in between. SchoolDigger rated Yukon at the 76th statewide percentile, rank 1,388 of 5,804, with 4 stars; it placed sixth among 11 nearby schools, while the district was at the 88th percentile. The student–teacher ratio was 22.3 in 2024–2025, third-lowest among nearby schools. In 2024–2025, 46% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, near the middle of the nearby-school range. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a relative strength for Special Education Students: 91st percentile, compared with the school’s overall 71st percentile in 2024–2025. The English Language Learner Students’ ranking fell from the 94th percentile in 2018–2019 to the 45th percentile in 2022–2023, while the overall ranking moved from the 73rd to the 68th percentile.
