Summary:
Schools in zip code 94954 include 13 schools—nine elementary, two middle and two high schools—serving students from elementary through high school. The latest results are from 2025–2026, and the clearest overall finding is how sharply elementary outcomes vary: school scores span 56 to 71 percentage points across subjects, with one school leading and another at the bottom in all three.
Sonoma Mountain Elementary is the elementary standout, with 80% proficient in ELA, 77% in math and 67% in science—31, 39 and 31 percentage points above California, respectively. At the other end, McDowell Elementary scored 9%, 13% and 10%, below the state by 40, 26 and 26 points. Among middle schools, Kenilworth Junior High leads, scoring 52% in ELA and 43% in math, while Dual Language Immersion Academy Charter is below state results in all three subjects. Casa Grande High leads the two high schools, with 64% in ELA but 27% in math and 31% in science; Sonoma Mountain High (Necessary Small School) scored 36% in ELA and 0% in math and science.
Elementary results moved in different directions: across eight schools with scores in both years, average results were essentially unchanged in ELA, up 2 points in math and up 7 in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026; California rose by about 0, 1 and 3 points, respectively. Miwok Valley Elementary Charter improved in all three subjects, while SchoolDigger’s ranking rose from the 10th to the 31st percentile. SchoolDigger also ranks Sonoma Mountain Elementary at the 95th percentile, up from the 84th, and McDowell at the 2nd, down from the 19th. Student-teacher ratios alone do not distinguish outcomes: Sonoma Mountain’s is 24.8, compared with 20.5 at Miwok Valley, whose scores are lower. For 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible was 37% at La Tercera Elementary and 46% at Loma Vista Immersion Academy; these are context, not an explanation for score differences. Grade spans differ, and River Montessori Elementary Charter has results only for 2024–2025.
