Summary:
ZIP code 93711 has seven schools: four elementary schools serving grades K–6, one middle school serving grades 7–8, and two high schools. The strongest overall pattern is at the elementary level: the four schools average 53% in ELA and 50% in math, above state results of 49% and 38%, but average 30% in science, below the state’s 36%. Tenaya Middle is below the state in all three subjects, making the gap between elementary and middle-school results the most important finding for families comparing schools.
H. Roger Tatarian Elementary leads the schools with reported scores in ELA, at 58%, and science, at 43%; both are about 9 and 7 percentage points above state results. Starr Elementary leads in math at 58%, about 19 points above the state. Tenaya is lowest among the schools with results in all three subjects: 39% in ELA, 21% in math, and 19% in science—about 11, 18, and 17 points below state results. Gibson Elementary is a mixed case, slightly below the state in ELA and math and about 10 points below in science. Proficiency results are unavailable for Florence E. Rata, which has no scores listed, and STRIVE Academy, whose scores are suppressed.
