Summary:

ZIP code 93105 has two elementary schools serving kindergarten through grade 6: Peabody Charter and Adams Elementary. In 2024–2025, both were above state results in English language arts (ELA), math, and science: Peabody scored 71%, 63%, and 58%, while Adams scored 52%, 42%, and 41%, compared with state results of 49%, 37%, and 33%. The clearest difference is that Peabody led Adams by 17–21 percentage points across the three subjects, despite both schools outperforming the state that year.

Peabody stands out as the higher-scoring school in the shared-year comparison, with leads of 20 points in ELA, 21 in math, and 17 in science. SchoolDigger ranked it 738th of 5,857 schools, at the 87th percentile with four stars in 2024–2025. Adams was lower in each subject but still above the state in all three that year; SchoolDigger ranked it 2,056th of 5,857, at the 65th percentile with three stars.

Adams’s latest results declined in every subject: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 6 percentage points, math 1 point, and science 16 points. It moved from above the state to below it in ELA and science, while remaining 2 points above the state in math; its SchoolDigger ranking also fell from the 65th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 54th in 2025–2026. The schools differ in other reported measures too: Peabody enrolled 780 students and had a 22.2:1 student–teacher ratio, compared with Adams’s 469 students and 16.6:1 ratio. Both reported free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025: 43% at Peabody and 64% at Adams. Peabody has no 2025–2026 test results in the supplied data, so Adams’s decline does not establish a ZIP-wide trend.
