Summary:
Zip code 95230 has one listed school, Farmington Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 5 in Escalon Unified. It enrolled 95 students and had a 15.8-to-1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 36% in English language arts (ELA), 36% in math, and 17% in science; California’s rates were 49%, 38%, and 36%, respectively. The most important finding is the sharp difference between strong third-grade results and much lower results in grades 4 and 5.
Because Farmington is the only school listed, there are no school-to-school leaders or laggards; third grade is the standout within the school. In grade 3, 57% were proficient in ELA, 13 percentage points above the state, and 71% in math, 24 points above. By contrast, grade 4 was 17% in ELA and 25% in math—29 and 17 points below the state. Grade 5 was 33% in ELA and 17% in math, 16 and 20 points below California. These differences mean the all-grade averages hide a particularly strong third-grade showing as well as lower results in the next two tested grades.
Results changed unevenly over time: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA rose from 33% to 36%, math fell from 40% to 36%, and science dropped from 31% to 17%. ELA narrowed its gap with the state from 16 points below to 13 below; math shifted from 2 points above to 2 below, while science’s shortfall widened from 2 to 19 points. SchoolDigger ranked Farmington in the 39th percentile in 2025–2026, following the 44th percentile in 2024–2025 and 17th in 2023–2024. As context, 75% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; California provides free school meals to all students statewide. Chronic absenteeism was 4% in 2025–2026, compared with 11% in the district and 18% statewide.
