Summary:
Zip code 94568 has two Eleanor Murray Fallon and Wells Middle, both in Dublin Unified and serving grades 6–8. In 2025–2026, both schools were above California in English Language Arts (ELA) and math, but their science results differed: Fallon was well above the state, while Wells was below it. The most important takeaway is that these schools are not interchangeable academically, especially in science.
Fallon led in all three subjects, with 83% proficiency in ELA, 77% in math, and 69% in science, compared with 67%, 58%, and 29% at Wells. Fallon’s leads were 16 percentage points in ELA, 19 in math, and 40 in science. Both schools exceeded California’s results in ELA and math; in science, Fallon was 33 points above the state, while Wells was 7 points below. Fallon also led Wells in every reported grade-level subject comparison, with gaps ranging from 14 to 40 points.
Across the two test years, the schools’ average advantage over California narrowed slightly in ELA and math and by 8 points in science. Science trends diverged: Fallon improved by 3 points, while Wells fell by 12. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide rankings place Fallon 63rd of 2,703 schools (98th percentile) and Wells 474th (82nd percentile); Fallon stayed in the 98th–99th percentile across the three reported ranking years, while Wells’s percentile ranged from 82nd to 85th. Other reported differences offer context, not explanations: in 2024–2025, Fallon’s student-teacher ratio was 24.9 versus 23.8 at Wells, and the schools reported 11% versus 23% free/reduced lunch eligible, respectively. Both schools’ chronic absenteeism was below California’s rate in 2025–2026.
