Summary:
ZIP code 94535 has two K–5 elementary schools, Scandia Elementary and Travis Elementary, with similar enrollment: 432 and 421 students. Their 2025–26 results show a mixed picture for the area: the simple average of the two schools is near the state result in ELA and above it in math and science, while school results differ substantially. The most important finding is that Travis leads Scandia in every reported subject and grade.
Travis Elementary stands out at the top: its all-grade proficiency was 54% in ELA, 48% in math and 41% in science, leading Scandia Elementary by 11, 11 and 9 percentage points, respectively. Travis was above the state in all three subjects; Scandia, at 43% in ELA, 36% in math and 32% in science, was below it in each. Travis also led in every supplied grade-level comparison, with the largest gap in grade 5 math: 44% versus 22%, a 22-point difference. SchoolDigger’s latest statewide rankings place Travis at the 68th percentile with 3 stars, compared with Scandia at the 49th percentile with 2 stars.
Results changed unevenly from 2024–25 to 2025–26. The most striking shift was Scandia’s science score, which fell 27 percentage points, from 59% to 32%, while the state result rose 3 points; Travis’s ELA score fell 7 points, but its math result rose 2. Together, the schools’ science average moved from 21 points above the state to about 1 point above. Other reported measures provide context, not an explanation: in 2024–25, Scandia’s student-teacher ratio was 20.6 versus 21.4 at Travis, and its free/reduced lunch eligible share was 52% versus 46%. In 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 7% at Scandia and 6% at Travis, both below the district’s 16% and the state’s 18%.
