Summary

Maple Elementary is a K–6 school with 574 students in Tulare, California, in the Tulare City district. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates are below district and state levels in English language arts (ELA), math and science, and its science result is the clearest concern: just 7% of students were proficient, lower than at every nearby K–6 school with reported science results.

Maple is near the bottom of nearby schools in ELA and math, and is especially weak in science. ELA proficiency was 29%, versus a nearby-school average of 36%, 7% below the district and 20% below the state. Math was 19%, compared with a nearby average of 29%, 6% below the district and 19% below the state. Science was 7%, versus a nearby average of 21%, 13% below the district and 29% below the state. Fourth-grade ELA is a relative bright spot: Maple’s 33% was close to the nearby average of 34%. Fifth-grade math is its sharpest grade-level weakness: 7% proficiency, below every nearby school with results and well below Maple’s 29% in fifth-grade ELA.

ELA and math have improved since 2022–23, but science has declined: ELA rose 8 percentage points to 29%, math rose 9 points to 19%, and science fell 2 points to 7%. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 3rd percentile in 2023–24 to the 13th percentile in 2025–26, but Maple remains low-ranked locally and has 1 star. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 22, among the lower ratios nearby; its free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 93% that year, third-highest among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings offer a more positive note: Maple ranked at the 34th percentile for English Language Learner students in 2023–24, compared with its overall 3rd percentile that year. For Special Education students, its latest ranking was the 29th percentile in 2025–26, above its overall 13th percentile.
