Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 95125 include 12 schools—nine elementary, one middle and two high schools—serving students from elementary through high school. Among the 11 schools with 2025–26 results, all-grades proficiency ranged from 23% to 75% in English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA), 16% to 74% in math, and 10% to 73% in science. The most important finding for families is that results vary sharply from school to school, so the specific school and grade matter more than a ZIP-code-wide average.
Booksin Elementary led the 2025–26 all-grades results, with 75% in ELA, 74% in math and 73% in science—26, 36 and 37 percentage points above state results, respectively. Ernesto Galarza Elementary had the lowest ELA and math scores, at 23% and 16%; Blackford Elementary had the lowest science score, at 10%. Hammer Montessori at Galarza Elementary also performed strongly, including 72% in fourth-grade math, while River Glen scored higher than Willow Glen Middle in ELA in every shared grade. University Preparatory Academy Charter had top ELA and math scores among schools with 2024–25 results: 79% and 66%.
Across the 11 schools with comparable results, average scores rose 3 percentage points in ELA, 1 point in math and 3 points in science from 2024–25 to 2025–26; ELA improved at nine schools, while math rose at seven. SchoolDigger ranked Booksin at the 93rd statewide percentile in 2025–26 and UPA at the 97th percentile in 2024–25. Reported free/reduced lunch eligible rates for 2024–25 ranged from 12% at Booksin to 77% at Ernesto Galarza; higher rates did not consistently coincide with lower results, as River Glen reported 47% and had comparatively strong scores. Ratios also did not align neatly with results: Canoas had the lowest listed student-teacher ratio, 16.8, while River Glen had the highest, 29.3. All-grades results cover different grade spans, and UPA’s scores are from a different year, so grade-matched comparisons are more useful for choosing between schools.
