Summary:
ZIP code 95054 has three schools: two K–5 elementary schools and one grade 9–12 high school, with 2025–26 proficiency results available in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The elementary schools are relatively close in overall results, while the high school’s scores are much higher. The clearest finding is that Mission Early College High leads the listed schools in all three subjects and stands well above the state’s all-grades results.
Mission Early College High scored 90% in ELA, 76% in math and 69% in science—about 41, 37 and 33 percentage points above the state, respectively. It led the next-highest school by 31 points in ELA, 29 in math and 32 in science. Among the elementary schools, Kathryn Hughes Elementary led Montague Elementary by 12 points in ELA and 9 in math, while Montague led Hughes by 12 points in science. Montague had the lowest all-grades ELA and math results, each slightly below the state; Hughes had the lowest science result, 10 points below the state. Grade-level results add useful nuance: Hughes led Montague by 34 points in grade 3 ELA and 30 in grade 3 math, while Montague did better in grade 4 math and grade 5 ELA.
Results rose in all three subjects at every school from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but the gains varied: Hughes improved most in ELA, Montague in science, and Mission in math, up 27 points. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking rose from 52 to 66 for Hughes and from 94 to 98 for Mission; Montague’s moved from 67 to 55. Context differs too: Hughes enrolled 281 students, had an 18.7 student–teacher ratio and 41% free/reduced lunch eligible in school year 2024–25; Montague had 254 students, a 15.8 ratio and 39% eligible. Mission enrolled 183 students, had a 23.0 ratio and 31% eligible. These measures describe school contexts, not explanations of achievement. Since Mission serves high school grades while the other two serve elementary grades, their all-grades scores are not like-grade comparisons.
