Summary:
ZIP code 93313 has 11 schools—nine elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school—with enrollments from 169 to 2,575 students. Across the schools, the unweighted average proficiency was 45% in ELA, 29% in math, and 27% in science, compared with statewide results of 49%, 38%, and 36%. Results differ substantially from school to school: the high-to-low gaps are 35 points in ELA, 33 in math, and 25 in science. The clearest takeaway is that a ZIP code alone does not describe a consistent school experience.
Stonecreek Junior High leads in ELA at 65%, 14 points ahead of the next-highest school, Panama Elementary, at 51%; Berkshire Elementary is lowest at 30%. Panama leads math at 47%, ahead of Granite Pointe Elementary at 39%, while Ridgeview High is lowest at 14%. Panama also leads science at 39%, just ahead of Stonecreek at 37%; General Shafter Elementary is lowest at 14%. Granite Pointe is strong across all three subjects, while Berkshire is among the lowest in each.
Recent changes are mixed rather than broadly upward: the area’s average ELA result was nearly flat, math fell by 1 point, and science rose by 1 point—less than the state’s 3-point science gain. Panama improved by 8 points in math and 11 in science, and Stonecreek rose in all three subjects; by contrast, General Shafter fell by 14 points in math and 25 in science. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings rose from 57 to 69 for Stonecreek and from 49 to 58 for Granite Pointe, while Ridgeview fell from 61 to 38. As context, schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–25 ranging from 70% at Donald E. Suburu to 90% at Granite Pointe; these figures do not neatly track test results.
