Elementary results are generally below state proficiency levels, while school performance varies substantially by subject.

Among K–6 schools, Burbank Elementary had the highest ELA proficiency at 31%, while Faith Ringgold School of Arts and Science was lowest at 13%, an 18-point gap. East Avenue Elementary led K–6 math at 23%, 14 points above Faith Ringgold’s 9%. In the K–5 group, Lorenzo Manor Elementary led ELA at 24% and math at 28%, ahead of Colonial Acres Elementary by 11 and 15 points, respectively. East Avenue’s fifth-grade science result was a standout at 42%, 7 points above the state’s 35%; K–6 and K–5 school science averages were 17% and 9%. On shared 11th-grade results, Brenkwitz narrowly led Royal Sunset in math, 5.0% to 4.6%, while Royal Sunset led in science, 8% to 3%; both were far below state results.

Recent changes are mixed: Longwood Elementary improved in all three subjects from 2024–25 to 2025–26, gaining 4 points in ELA, 5 in math, and 4 in science. Faith Ringgold’s science result fell 23 points to 0%, while Royal Sunset’s ELA fell 17 points to 0%. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 rankings put East Avenue at the 31st percentile among elementary schools and Faith Ringgold at the 0th; Royal Sunset and Brenkwitz were at the 8th and 7th percentiles. School measures offer context but do not form a simple pattern: East Avenue’s student–teacher ratio was 20.8, compared with Burbank’s 24.8, and their free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25 were 67% and 74%, respectively. These results cover small populations at Faith Ringgold and the high schools, and the elementary schools have different grade spans.
