Summary:
Zip code 95032 has four schools: three elementary schools serving kindergarten through grade 5 and one middle school serving grades 6–8. In 2025–2026, the schools’ average proficiency was 76% in English language arts (ELA), 77% in math, and 66% in science—about 27, 39, and 30 percentage points above state results, respectively. The clearest overall takeaway is that schools in the area perform well above state levels in all three subjects, with the strongest relative advantage in math.
Blossom Hill Elementary leads all-grades ELA at 81%, 2 points above the next-highest result at Alta Vista Elementary (78%). Alta Vista leads all-grades math at 80%, 3 points ahead of Blossom Hill, and science at 68%; its science result is only 1 point above Raymond J. Fisher Middle, whose result covers a different grade span. At the other end, Louise Van Meter Elementary has the lowest all-grades ELA score, 68%—8 points below Fisher, the next-lowest school. Elementary grade-level results add detail: Van Meter trails the other elementary schools in ELA in grades 3–5, while grade 3 and 4 math scores are close across all three; the larger math separation is in grade 5.
Recent scores softened on average even as state results rose: the four-school averages fell 2 points in ELA, 1 in math, and 4 in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, narrowing the area’s advantage over the state in every subject. SchoolDigger gives all four schools five stars; its statewide rank improved for Alta Vista (344 to 283) and Van Meter (788 to 576) from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while Fisher and Blossom Hill moved down in rank. The elementary schools’ student–teacher ratios range from 21.1 to 25.9, with no simple match to achievement. Their 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares are close—about 7% at each school, with Fisher at 6%—and are context, not an explanation of results.
