SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 11% of California elementary schools

Summary

Tranquillity Elementary serves 209 students in grades K–8 in Tranquillity, a community in Golden Plains Unified, and its most important finding is that proficiency remains far below the state in ELA, math, and science, with science showing the largest state gap.

ELA is the school’s closest result to its district, while science is its largest shortfall against the state: in 2025–2026, proficiency was 23% in ELA, 16% in math, and 8% in science, compared with 26%, 23%, and 15% in the district and 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. Against the district, those gaps were 2 points in ELA, 7 in math, and 7 in science; the state gaps were 26, 22, and 28 points. Among nearby K–8 schools with results, ELA was higher than at San Joaquin Elementary but lower than at Cantua Elementary and Helm Elementary. Math was the lowest of the four schools’ results and 10 points below their average.

Scores have risen since 2022–2023—by 7 points in both ELA and math and 6 points in science—but the state gaps in ELA and math widened in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranks the school in the 11th percentile statewide and gives it 1 star for 2025–2026. The student–teacher ratio was 16.3 in 2024–2025, below the nearby-school average of 21, while 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Attendance was a comparatively positive measure: chronic absenteeism was 17.6%, versus 18.3% statewide and 26.8% in the district. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves Female Students rose to the 20th percentile in 2025–2026 from 0 in 2023–2024; its measure for Male Students fell to the 8th percentile from 22 over the same period.
