Summary

Center Elementary is a K–5 school serving 640 students in Fairfield, California, in the Travis Unified area. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were below both state and district averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The most important finding is that Center trails both benchmarks in every tested subject, with its largest shortfall in ELA.

Math is Center’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, the district and the state, but it still falls short. Center’s math proficiency was 28%, compared with 35% in the district and 38% statewide; its result was 7 points below the district and 10 below the state. In ELA, Center’s 32% was 18 points below the district and 17 below the state. Science proficiency was 27%, 13 points below the district and 9 below the state. Center also scored below the average of nearby K–5 schools in all three subjects: by 5 points in ELA and 2 points each in math and science. All four nearby schools in Travis Unified scored higher than Center in each subject.

Results and statewide standing have weakened over time. ELA proficiency fell from 42% in 2022–23 to 32% in 2025–26, while SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking dropped from 51 to 29; its rating is now 1 star, down from 3 stars in 2021–22. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well Center serves Multi-racial Students was especially low, at the 5th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 29th percentile. Its ranking for how well it serves Low Socio Economic Status Students also fell sharply, from the 39th percentile in 2023–24 to the 12th in 2025–26. For context, Center’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 25.1, above the nearby-school average of 23.0, and 51% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25.
