Summary:

Elementary schools in zip code 93245 include 10 schools serving 4,297 students, with grade spans from K–5 to K–8 and most serving K–6. In 2025–26, the schools’ average proficiency was 49% in ELA, 42% in math and 28% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. Because the schools serve different grade spans, all-grades results do not represent identical mixes of grades. The clearest area-wide concern is science: the average was 8 percentage points below the state, the widest subject gap.

Akers Elementary and R. J. Neutra lead in overall results: Akers had the highest ELA (68%) and science (61%), while Neutra led math (66%). Island Elementary also exceeded the state in all three subjects, with 57% in ELA, 54% in math and 49% in science. At the lower end, Central Elementary had the lowest ELA (26%) and math (22%), while Stratford Elementary had the lowest science result (11%). The highest-to-lowest gaps were 42 points in ELA, 44 in math and 50 in science. Results can vary by grade, too: Stratford’s grade 6 ELA proficiency was 61%, above the state’s 48%.

Group averages rose by about 1 percentage point in each subject from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but the state’s science result rose more, leaving the schools farther behind. School-level changes were mixed: Meadow Lane Elementary gained 9 points in ELA, Island Elementary gained 16 points in science, and Cinnamon Elementary fell 18 points in science. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking rose 18 points at Meadow Lane and 14 at Stratford from 2023–24 to 2025–26, while falling 11 at Cinnamon. The free/reduced lunch eligible measure for 2024–25 ranged from 22% at Akers to 82% at Meadow Lane; these figures provide context, not an explanation for results. Student-teacher ratios ranged from 17.0 at Neutra to 24.5 at Stratford.
