Summary:
ZIP code 95112 has two middle schools: ACE Esperanza Middle, serving grades 5–8, and Muwekma Ohlone Middle, serving grades 6–8. In 2024–2025, their simple two-school averages were 29% in English language arts, 17% in math and 17% in science, compared with California’s 49%, 37% and 33%. That means average gaps of 20 points in ELA, 20 in math and 15 in science. The most important finding is that both schools were well below state proficiency levels, while the differences between them were comparatively small.
ACE Esperanza led the shared 2024–2025 results in ELA and math: 32% versus Muwekma Ohlone’s 26% in ELA, a 6-point lead, and 18% versus 15% in math, a 3-point lead. Muwekma was the science leader, with 18% compared with ACE’s 16%, a 2-point advantage. So neither school led in every subject, and both remained below California in all three.
Muwekma Ohlone’s results rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in ELA by 2 points and math by 3, but fell 1 point in science; its SchoolDigger ranking was at the 19th percentile in each supplied year from 2023–2024 through 2025–2026. ACE Esperanza was at the 24th percentile in SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 ranking. As context, in 2024–2025 ACE had 87% free/reduced lunch eligible, a 22.7:1 student-teacher ratio and 205 students; Muwekma had 69% free/reduced lunch eligible, a 17.9:1 ratio and 587 students. These are observations, not explanations of results. Muwekma’s 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism was 31%, above its district’s 22% and the state’s 18%; ACE’s 21% figure is from 2024–2025. Results are not fully like-for-like because the schools serve different grade spans and ACE has no 2025–2026 test results here.
