Results vary by subject and grade, but science is the clearest area of concern: the schools’ average was 12 percentage points below the state.

Golden Valley Elementary led math at 45% and science at 31%; Palm Elementary was close in math at 44%, while Orosi was lowest in both math (25%) and science (19%).

Across the four schools, average math proficiency rose 4 points and science rose 5 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, bringing both closer to state results; average ELA was nearly unchanged and ended 1 point farther behind.
