Summary
Frank Kohn Elementary serves 617 students in grades K–6 in Tulare, California, as part of the Tulare City district. In 2025–2026, proficiency was below the state in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but results have improved in all three subjects. The most important takeaway is that science is the school’s clearest strength compared with nearby schools, even though it remains below the state.
Science proficiency was 27%, above the district’s 20% and the nearby-school average of 18%; only Mission Valley Elementary and Garden Elementary scored higher among nearby schools with reported results. The school ranked third of eight nearby schools in science. ELA was a weaker point overall: 34% proficient, 15 points below the state and 4 points below the nearby-school average, placing it fourth of ten. There is a striking grade-level exception: sixth-grade ELA reached 51%, higher than the state’s 48% and every nearby school with a reported score; third-grade ELA was 23%, 21 points below the state. Math was 26%, slightly above the district but 12 points below the state, and sixth of ten nearby schools. Comparisons across schools are not perfectly like-for-like because grade spans differ.
Results have risen since 2022–2023: ELA increased by 10 percentage points, math by 11, and science by 18, while the state gaps narrowed in each subject. SchoolDigger placed the school at California’s 31st percentile in 2025–2026, with 2 stars and a rank of 4,019 out of 5,804; its percentile rose 13 points from the prior year. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves White students was at the 4th percentile, compared with 31 overall. Its ranking for Special Education Students reached the 42nd percentile, up from 8 the year before. In 2024–2025, 89% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student–teacher ratio was 22.7.
