Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 94949 include four schools serving grades TK through 8: San Jose Middle (grades 6–8), Hamilton Tk-8 and Novato Charter (TK–8), and Loma Verde Elementary (K–5). The latest common-year results are from 2024–2025 because Novato Charter’s latest supplied scores are from that year, and the schools serve different grade spans. Most importantly, results show a sharp divide: Novato Charter led the 2024–2025 all-grades results, while Hamilton was lowest in each of the three core subjects.

Novato Charter was the strongest in 2024–2025, scoring 67% in ELA, 55% in math and 53% in science—18, 18 and 20 percentage points above the state, respectively. Hamilton scored 33% in ELA, 23% in math and 25% in science, falling 16, 15 and 8 points below the state. In 2025–2026, among the three schools with results, Loma Verde led in math (47%) and science (37%), respectively 8 and 1 point above the state; San Jose led in ELA at 44%, though it was 6 points below the state. Hamilton remained behind both schools in all three subjects. Grade-matched results also show San Jose ahead of Hamilton in grades 6–8 and Loma Verde ahead of Hamilton in grades 3–5, particularly in math.

From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the average state gap for the three schools with results in both years widened by 4 points in ELA, 2 in math and 2 in science. Loma Verde was an exception in math and science: its scores rose while San Jose and Hamilton’s fell in math, and its science gain was the largest. SchoolDigger gives Hamilton 1 star and San Jose and Loma Verde 3 stars for 2025–2026; Novato Charter’s latest rating is 4 stars for 2024–2025. The 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 82% at Hamilton, 56% at San Jose, 53% at Loma Verde and 16% at Novato Charter. Student–teacher ratios that year ranged from 19.7 at Novato Charter to 22.4 at Loma Verde, offering additional context rather than an explanation for score differences.
