Summary:
ZIP code 93232 has 12 schools: 10 listed as elementary schools and two junior highs; most serve elementary grades, Jefferson Academy serves K–8, and the junior highs serve grades 7–8. Across the 11 larger schools, the 2025–26 average was 49% proficient in ELA, 41% in math and 32% in science—about level with California in ELA, 2 percentage points above the state in math, and 4 points below in science. The most important finding for families is how uneven results are: the school-to-school range is 32 points in ELA, 21 in math and 33 in science.
Martin Luther King Junior Elementary leads ELA at 61%, while Jefferson Academy is close behind at 60% and leads math at 53% and science at 50%. At the lower end, Lincoln Elementary has the lowest ELA result among the larger schools, at 30%; John F. Kennedy Junior High is lowest in math at 33%, and Roosevelt Elementary is lowest in science at 17%. There are notable grade-level exceptions: Lincoln leads sixth-grade math at 60%, despite its low all-grades ELA result. Jefferson’s eighth-grade results also stand out against the junior highs: 74% in ELA and 65% in math, compared with 49% and 43% at Woodrow Wilson Junior High.
Science improved most over time: the 11-school mean rose 6 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while ELA fell 1 point and math rose by less than 1 point. Individual trends differ: Monroe Elementary gained 7 points in math, while Jefferson fell 7 points; Jefferson’s ELA also declined 8 points. SchoolDigger statewide percentile rankings show mixed longer-term movement: George Washington Elementary rose 13 points and Lincoln and Lee Richmond Elementary each rose 11, while Jefferson fell 13 but remains a current achievement leader. Reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25 range from 48% at Jefferson to 95% at Lincoln; these are context, not an explanation of results. Hanford Elementary Community Day is a distinct case, with 12 students and 0% reported in 2025–26 ELA and math; its science result is suppressed.
