Zip code 95004 in Aromas, CA, contains just one school, Aromas Elementary School, a K-8 school serving 399 students in the rural Aromas - San Juan Unified School District.
Aromas Elementary shows a mix of strengths and challenges in its academic performance. The school excels in upper-grade English Language Arts, with 8th graders scoring well above the state average, and mathematics performance recovers strongly by 8th grade. However, there are notable dips in 5th-grade math and science proficiency, and science overall is the school's weakest subject. The school's statewide ranking declined significantly from the previous year, moving from the 56th to the 39th percentile.
Key factors for parents to consider include a chronic absenteeism rate above state and district averages, which likely impacts learning, and the fact that over half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite per-student spending of $18,709, which is above typical averages, academic results are mixed, suggesting other community or instructional factors are at play. The school's unique K-8 configuration serves as the central educational hub for this community.
