Brookside Elementary up 253 spots statewide this year
Summary:

ZIP code 94960 has four schools: three K–5 elementary schools and one high school serving grades 9–12. In 2025–2026, their unweighted average proficiency was 82% in ELA, 73% in math and 67% in science—33, 35 and 31 percentage points above California, respectively. Because the average combines elementary and high-school results, it is not a grade-matched comparison. The clearest overall finding is that every school scored above the state in all three reported subjects.

Wade Thomas Elementary leads in all-grades ELA and math, at 83% and 82%; its ELA score is only about half a point above Archie Williams High. Hidden Valley Elementary leads science at 76%, about 13 points above Brookside Elementary, at 63%. Brookside has the lowest all-grades results among the elementary schools in ELA, math and science, but leads them in third-grade ELA and math. Archie has the lowest math score overall, 56%, though that remains 18 points above the state.

Scores improved overall from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: the four-school averages rose 5 points in ELA, 2 in math and 5 in science. Archie Williams improved in all three subjects, including a 16-point ELA gain, while Wade Thomas declined in all three; Hidden Valley had the largest science increase, 12 points. SchoolDigger ranks Hidden Valley 133rd of 5,804 California schools, Wade Thomas 179th and Brookside 385th; Archie Williams ranks 130th of 2,137 high schools. Elementary student–teacher ratios range from 19.5 to 22.8. All four schools report free/reduced lunch eligible figures for school year 2024–2025: 7% at Wade, 10% at Brookside, 8% at Hidden Valley and 10% at Archie—useful context, not an explanation of results.
