Summary:
Zip code 93631 has six elementary schools serving kindergarten through grade 8: Washington serves kindergarten, Roosevelt grade 1, Lincoln grades 2–3, and Kings River, Clay, and Central Valley Home kindergarten through grade 8. Test results are available for the latter four schools, while Washington and Roosevelt have no reported results; the schools also serve different grade mixes. The clearest finding is that Clay stands well above the other schools with scores.
Clay led in all three reported subjects in 2025–2026, with 81% in English language arts (ELA), 80% in math, and 64% in science—about 32, 42, and 28 percentage points above the state, respectively. At the other end, Central Valley Home had the lowest ELA and math results, at 29% and 17%; Kings River had the lowest science score, 22%. The difference between the highest and lowest school scores was 52 points in ELA, 64 in math, and 42 in science. There are encouraging grade-level exceptions: Lincoln was above the state in both grade 3 ELA and math, and Clay led the other K–8 schools in ELA and math in every shared tested grade from 4 through 8.
Recent trends vary: Lincoln’s all-grades ELA and math scores fell 16 and 12 points, while Clay rose 6 points in ELA and 5 in math. Central Valley Home gained 7 points in ELA and 11 in science; Kings River’s science score rose 2 points even as its ELA and math dipped. SchoolDigger ranked Clay 253rd of 5,804 schools (96th percentile, 5 stars), compared with Kings River at 4,589th (21st percentile, 1 star) and Central Valley Home at 5,242nd (10th percentile, 0 stars). The reported free/reduced lunch eligible measure for 2024–2025 was 16% at Clay, versus 88% at Kings River and 87% at Central Valley Home; these are context, not explanations for scores. Ratios also differ: 27.3 students per teacher at Clay, 19.4 at Kings River, and 29.6 at Central Valley Home.
