Summary:
ZIP code 95017 has one listed elementary school, Pacific Elementary, serving kindergarten through sixth grade and enrolling 173 students. With no other local elementary schools in the list, families cannot compare nearby schools against one another; the available comparisons are with California results. The clearest strength is Science: in 2025–26, 67% of students were proficient, about 31 percentage points above the state’s 36%.
Within the school’s results, sixth-grade Math stands out at 62% proficient, about 25 points above the state grade-level result. Fifth-grade Science was also strong: 67%, about 31 points above California. The clearest weak spot is fourth grade, where ELA proficiency was 28%, about 18 points below the state, and Math was 26%, about 16 points below. Overall, 2025–26 ELA was 49%, about 1 point below the state, while Math was 44%, about 6 points above it. These differences show why the all-grades figures may not reflect the experience in every grade.
Results moved in different directions from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA fell about 7 percentage points and Math fell about 17, while Science rose about 8.

SchoolDigger lists the Pacific Elementary district at 263rd of 968, in the 73rd percentile, with 4 stars. Because this ZIP code has just one listed school, there is no local peer comparison.
