Summary

King Avenue Elementary is a K–5 school in Yuba City, California, serving 380 students in Yuba City Unified. The main concern is that its 2025–26 proficiency results were below both the state and district in English language arts, math and science, with science the clearest weakness compared with nearby schools.

Compared with seven nearby schools in its district, King is around the middle in ELA and math but near the bottom in science: its rates were 30%, 21% and 15%, compared with nearby-school averages of 37%, 29% and 26%. It ranked fifth of eight schools in ELA and math, and seventh in science. State rates were 49% in ELA, 38% in math and 36% in science; district rates were 37%, 25% and 24%. The school’s results were below both comparisons in every subject.

Results have declined since 2022–23, especially in math and science: ELA fell by 1 percentage point, math by 11 points and science by 10 points. Meanwhile, the gap with the state widened in all three subjects. Chronic absenteeism improved, dropping from 34% in 2022–23 to 20% in 2025–26, but remained above the district’s 16% and the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger placed King at the 16th percentile and gave it one star in 2025–26; among the eight district schools compared, it ranked fifth by percentile. Its student–teacher ratio was 20.6 in 2024–25, the second-lowest among nearby schools with same-year figures. In that year, 95% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, the highest share among nearby schools reporting that measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves Special Education Students fell from the 68th percentile in 2023–24 to the 19th in 2025–26; its ranking for English Language Learner Students rose from the 11th percentile in 2021–22 to the 50th in 2023–24.
