Summary:

ZIP code 95070 has six elementary schools: five serve grades K–5, and Christa McAuliffe serves K–8. In the 2025–26 results, the six-school averages were 32 percentage points above the state in English language arts, 47 points in math, and 41 points in science. The most important takeaway is that every school exceeded the state in all three subjects, including the lowest-scoring school, Foothill Elementary, by 24 points in ELA, 42 in math, and 36 in science.

The top spot depends on the subject: Saratoga Elementary led ELA at 89%, while Argonaut Elementary led math at 93% and science at 83%. Their leads were narrow: Saratoga was ahead of Argonaut by 1 percentage point in ELA, and Argonaut was ahead of Saratoga by 1 point in math and 2 in science. Foothill ranked lowest in all three subjects, with 73% in ELA, 80% in math, and 72% in science—15, 12, and 11 points below the respective leaders. Marshall Lane Elementary also stands out against its district: its 84% ELA result was 32 points above Campbell Union.

Between 2024–25 and 2025–26, the six-school average was essentially unchanged in ELA, down 1 point in math, and up 1 point in science, while state results rose in all three. Saratoga and Argonaut improved in all three subjects; Blue Hills Elementary was a notable exception, with science up 7 points as ELA and math fell by about 3 points each. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings improved for Saratoga, from 48 in 2023–24 to 23 in 2025–26, and for Christa McAuliffe, from 451 to 194; Foothill’s rank moved from 114 to 490. Student–teacher ratios in 2024–25 ranged from 18.5 at Foothill to 23.7 at Marshall Lane, while Foothill had the lowest scores and Marshall the highest ratio. All six reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25: they ranged from 3% at Argonaut to 16% at Blue Hills, useful context but not an explanation of results.
