Summary:
ZIP code 95132 has three middle schools—Sierramont Middle, Morrill Middle and Piedmont Middle—all serving grades 6–8 in the Berryessa Union Elementary district. In 2025–2026, each school scored above state results in all three subjects, with the area’s strongest average showing in ELA: the unweighted school averages were 66% in ELA, 49% in math and 44% in science, respectively 17, 11 and 8 percentage points above the state. The clearest finding is that results differ substantially among these schools, particularly in math.
Sierramont leads all three subjects, with 74% in ELA, 61% in math and 55% in science; it is ahead of the next-highest school by 11, 15 and 14 percentage points, respectively. Morrill is the middle performer, at 63% in ELA, 46% in math and 41% in science. Piedmont is lowest in each subject, at 60%, 40% and 38%, but remains above the state: by 11 points in ELA and 2 points each in math and science. This makes Piedmont’s state-level advantage much narrower in math and science than in ELA.
