There is no top or bottom school within the area list; the useful comparison is with Carmel Unified and with results by grade. Overall, Tularcitos Elementary was 6 points above its district in math, but 4 points below in ELA and 7 points below in science. Grade results show why the all-grade math figure does not tell the whole story: third-grade math was 5 points above the district, while fourth-grade math was 7 points below it; fifth-grade math was about level with the district. The school was above state math results in each of grades 3–5.
From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA and math proficiency at Tularcitos Elementary each rose about 2 points, while science fell 6 points; its advantage over the state narrowed by 9 points in science. SchoolDigger gives the school four stars and ranks it in the 87th percentile (755 of 5,804 schools), below its 92nd-percentile ranking in 2023–2024. Other context: chronic absenteeism was 9%, compared with 13% in the district and 18% statewide; the student–teacher ratio was 21.2 in 2024–2025, and 23% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year. These figures describe one school and do not support school-to-school comparisons within the area.
