Summary:

Zip code 94559 has seven schools—three elementary, one middle and three high schools—with enrollment ranging from 13 to 501 students; schools serve different grade spans, so all-grades results are not always direct comparisons. Among the six schools with reported 2025–2026 results, averages were 30% in English language arts (ELA), 21% in math and 15% in science, below state averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. The clearest overall finding is that results vary widely by school and subject, and only New Technology High in ELA and Alta Heights Elementary in math exceeded the state.

New Technology High led reported ELA results at 58%, while Alta Heights Elementary led math at 47% and science at 26%. At the other end, Camille Creek Community had 3% in ELA, 0% in math and 5% in science. The leaders were subject-specific: Alta Heights was 6 points below the state in ELA, while New Technology was 17 points below the state in math. In the same tested grade, 11th grade, New Technology exceeded Camille Creek by 53 points in ELA and 22 in math. Crossroads Academy has no reportable all-grades test results, so it cannot be ranked on those figures.

Recent progress is stronger in ELA and math than in science: across five schools with two years of results, averages rose 3 points in ELA and 4 in math, but fell 2 in science; the state science average rose 3 points. New Technology gained 10 ELA points and 8 math points, while Alta Heights gained 9 in math but lost 8 in science. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings place Alta Heights at the 56th percentile and New Technology at the 51st; Shearer Elementary, Phillips Elementary and Camille Creek are each at the 11th percentile. All schools report free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025, ranging from 44% at Mayacamas Countywide Middle to 91% at Shearer; these figures offer context, not an explanation of results. Among the K–5 schools, Alta Heights had higher results than Phillips despite a higher student-teacher ratio (26.5 versus 24.8).
