Summary

Zamora Elementary is a consistently strong-performing K-6 public school serving 409 students in the Woodland Joint Unified school district, ranking in the top 30% of all California elementary schools.

Academically, Zamora stands out in its district, with students scoring significantly higher in English and Math than those at most neighboring schools like Ramon S. Tafoya Elementary, Rhoda Maxwell Elementary, Freeman Elementary, and T. L. Whitehead Elementary. This success is supported by better student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate much lower than the district average and these nearby schools. While Spring Lake Elementary scores higher, Zamora achieves its strong results with a more economically diverse student population, demonstrating effective support for all learners.

Parents should note that the school has shown a slight decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, and there are areas for growth, including supporting male students and students in special education, where performance is not as strong. There is also notable variation in performance between grade levels. However, Zamora's decade-long history of stable, above-average performance makes it a reliable and high-achieving choice within the wider Woodland Joint Unified district.
