Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 91321

This analysis examines five elementary schools (grades K-6) located in zip code 91321 in Newhall, California, which are split between the Sulphur Springs Union and Newhall school districts.

Peachland Avenue Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with the strongest test scores in math and science and a consistent 4-star rating. In contrast, Newhall Elementary faces significant challenges, with the lowest test scores and ranking among the group. The other three schools—Valley View Community Elementary, Dr. J. Michael McGrath Elementary, and Wiley Canyon Elementary—show mid-range performance, with Valley View showing particular strength in early grade scores.

An interesting finding is that while the Newhall district has high average test scores, most of its schools in this specific zip code perform below that district average. All schools successfully keep chronic student absenteeism well below the state average. Resources like per-student spending do not directly correlate with performance, as the highest-spending school does not have the top results, suggesting other factors are important for student success.
