Summary:
ZIP code 95005 has one listed school, SLVUSD Charter, an alternative school serving kindergarten through grade 12 with 301 students. Its 2025–2026 results are strongest in science and ELA compared with state rates, while its mathematics advantage is smaller; science is the clearest strength.
Because it is the only listed school, SLVUSD Charter is technically both the area’s top and bottom school, but there is no meaningful local school-to-school comparison. Against the state in 2025–2026, its science proficiency was 57% versus 36%, a 21-point lead; ELA was 63% versus 49%, a 13-point lead; and mathematics was 42% versus 38%, a 4-point lead. Mathematics was 2 points below the district’s 44%. Other reported outcomes were favorable: graduation was 100%, compared with 88% statewide, while chronic absenteeism was 6%, compared with 18% statewide.
Results changed unevenly over the two years reported: science proficiency rose 11 points, from 46% to 57%, while its state lead widened from 14 to 21 points. ELA fell 2 points and mathematics fell less than 1 point, narrowing their state leads from 16 to 13 points and from 5 to 4 points, respectively. Grade-level results add important exceptions: 4th-grade ELA was 33% versus 46% statewide, and 11th-grade mathematics was 30% versus 32%; science was above state rates in each reported grade. SchoolDigger ranks San Lorenzo Valley Unified 180th of 968 districts, in the 81st percentile, with four stars; that is a district rating, not a school rating. The school’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 25.7:1, and 21% were free/reduced lunch eligible; California provides free meals to all students. Because this is the only listed school, the data cannot show how it compares with other schools in the ZIP code.
