Summary:
ZIP code 93648 has five elementary schools serving 2,198 students: four serve grades K–6, while Riverview Elementary serves K–8. In 2025–26, the five-school averages were 31% proficient in English language arts (ELA), 24% in math and 20% in science, all below California’s rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. The clearest finding is that Riverview is the area’s standout: it was the only school above the state in all three subjects.
Riverview scored 54% in ELA, 44% in math and 40% in science—29, 25 and 25 percentage points above the other four schools’ respective averages. Among the four Parlier Unified schools, S Ben Benavidez led in ELA (30%) and math (27%), while Cesar E Chavez had the highest science result (21%). At the lower end, John C Martinez had the lowest ELA and math results, at 23% and 16%; Benavidez and Mathew J Brletic tied for the lowest science result, at 12%. SchoolDigger ranks Riverview at the 55th percentile with 3 stars; the other schools fall between the 8th and 24th percentiles, with 0 or 1 star.
Recent changes are mixed: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, Chavez gained 8 percentage points in ELA, 7 in math and 9 in science, the largest increases in each subject among the five schools. Across the group, ELA and math averages dipped slightly, while science rose from 18% to 20%; state results rose in all three subjects, widening the average gaps by 2 points in ELA, 1 in math and 1 in science. Student-teacher ratios range from 19.9 to 27.1, averaging 23.7. All five schools report a free/reduced lunch eligible measure for 2024–25; figures range from 69% to 98%, averaging 91%, an observed difference that does not establish a cause of test results. Riverview’s K–8 grade span differs from the other schools, though it also led in shared grades 3–6; individual school results may vary from year to year.
