Summary

Butte Vista Elementary is a K–8 school in Yuba City, California, with 853 students in Yuba City Unified. In 2025–26, its all-grade proficiency rates were 54% in English language arts (ELA), 47% in math and 47% in science. The most important finding is that the school scored above both California and its district in all three subjects.

Butte Vista was second among nearby schools with comparable 2025–26 results in each subject. Tierra Buena Elementary led in ELA at 64%, while Franklin Elementary led in math at 52% and science at 56%. Compared with state rates, Butte Vista was ahead by 5 percentage points in ELA, 9 in math and 11 in science; its leads over district rates were 17, 22 and 24 points, respectively. Middle-school math stands out: sixth- and eighth-grade results were both about 55%, versus state rates of 37% and 36%, and the school led nearby K–8 schools in those grades. Third-grade ELA (41% versus 44% statewide) and fifth-grade math (36% versus 37%) are relative weak spots. Grade spans differ across nearby schools, so all-grade comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.

Results have shifted over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 4 percentage points and math fell 2, while science rose 5; all three remain above state rates. SchoolDigger rated Butte Vista at the 66th statewide percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, down from the 72nd percentile and 4 stars in 2022–23. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 20.2, and 59% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—fourth-lowest among 11 nearby schools reporting the same measure. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 statewide ranking for Asian Students was at the 23rd percentile, compared with the school’s overall 66th percentile. For English Language Learner Students, its 2023–24 ranking was at the 94th percentile, versus the school’s overall 71st that year.
