Summary:
Zip code 93465 has one middle school, Templeton Middle, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 478 students; with no other middle schools in the list, families can compare its results with the district and state, but not with nearby schools in this set. In 2025–2026, the school was above California in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science. Its strongest statewide advantage was in science, and its narrowest was in math, making math the relative weak spot—not a subject where the school fell below the state.
Templeton Middle is both the highest- and lowest-ranked school in this ZIP-code list because it is the only one; it is not possible to identify local school leaders or trailers. Its 2025–2026 proficiency was 59% in ELA, 44% in math, and 47% in science, compared with 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. That puts the school 10 percentage points above the state in ELA, 6 above in math, and 11 above in science; it also exceeded Templeton Unified by 6, 5, and 5 points, respectively. Seventh-grade ELA was a particular strength at 63%. Chronic absenteeism was 13%, below California’s 18% but above the district’s 10%.
Results improved in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and the school widened its lead over the state: proficiency rose 5 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 4 in science, while the state gaps grew by 4, 5, and 1 points. SchoolDigger ranked Templeton Middle 647th of 2,703 schools in 2025–2026, in the 76th percentile with four stars; its percentile was also 76th in 2023–2024, after dipping to 71st in 2024–2025.
