Summary:
ZIP code 93202 has one elementary school, Armona Elementary, serving grades K–4 and enrolling 571 students. In 2025–26, its all-grade results were 41% in English language arts (ELA) and 36% in math, compared with 39% and 24% in the Armona Union Elementary district and 49% and 38% statewide. The most important takeaway is that Armona scored above its district in both subjects, but below the state in both—especially in ELA.
Because Armona is the only school in the area, it is both the highest- and lowest-performing school in the list; there is no school-to-school comparison. Its grade results show meaningful differences: third graders scored 10 points below the state in ELA and 15 points below in math, while fourth-grade ELA was 3 points above the state and fourth-grade math was 3 points below. Armona’s all-grade math result was just 2 points below the state, compared with an 8-point ELA gap, making ELA the larger overall shortfall. In 2024–25, the school had a student–teacher ratio of 19.6 and 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible.
Armona’s all-grade scores declined from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA fell 3 points and math fell 3 points, while state results rose in both subjects. As a result, the ELA gap with the state widened by 3 points, and math shifted from 2 points above the state to 2 points below. SchoolDigger’s ranking also declined, from the 52nd percentile in 2024–25 to the 45th in 2025–26, after reaching the 50th percentile in 2023–24. Chronic absenteeism was 16% in 2025–26, below the state’s 18% but above the district’s 13%. With just one school listed, these figures provide context about Armona but cannot show how it compares with nearby schools.
