Summary:
Zip code 93218 has one listed school, Ducor Union Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 8, with 136 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades results were below California’s in all three tested subjects: ELA was 20% compared with 49% statewide, math was 14% compared with 38%, and science was 26% compared with 36%. The most important takeaway is that ELA and math are much farther below state results than science.
Ducor Union Elementary is both the only school in the area and, by default, its only school-level leader and trailer; there is no second school for a meaningful local comparison. Its grade-level results vary considerably: grade 5 ELA reached 42%, just 7 points below the state’s 49%, while grade 4 ELA was 13%, 33 points below the state. Grade 8 math was essentially level with the state—36.4% versus 36.3%—but grades 6 and 7 math were both 0%, compared with state results of 37% and 38%. Science was more consistent: grades 5 and 8 scored 25% and 27%, respectively.
Results improved sharply in science but moved in the wrong direction in ELA and math between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Science rose from 10% to 26%, narrowing its state gap by 13 points; ELA fell from 23% to 20%, and math from 17% to 14%, while their gaps widened by 4 and 5 points. SchoolDigger lists the school at 0 stars and a current district rank of 931 out of 968; its latest annual rank was 5,267 out of 5,804, in the 9th percentile. Context figures include a student–teacher ratio of 15.1 in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible at 77% that year, and chronic absenteeism of 18% in 2025–2026, close to the state’s 18%. These figures offer context but do not explain the test results.
