Schools in Zip Code 95240

Schools in ZIP code 95240 include 12 schools: eight elementary schools, two high schools and two alternative schools serving students across elementary and secondary grades. In 2025–26, results varied by school and subject, and the eight K–6 elementary schools offer the clearest same-grade-span comparison. Their average proficiency was 32% in English language arts (ELA), 25% in math and 15% in science, compared with state figures of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important takeaway is that elementary results were below state figures in all three subjects, with the widest gap in science.

Tokay High led the listed schools in all-grades ELA at 60%, 11 percentage points above the state, and science at 34%, just below the state’s 36%. Among elementary schools, Lois E. Borchardt Elementary led ELA at 36% and math at 32%, while Clyde W. Needham Elementary led science at 28%; each result remained below its state comparison. At 11th grade, Valley Robotics Academy stood out in ELA (83%) and science (42%), both above state results, but its math result was weaker. At the low end, Turner Academy recorded 6% in ELA and 0% in math; Liberty High had the lowest reported science result, 4%. Turner’s science result was suppressed, so it cannot be ranked in that subject.

Across schools, the average result improved by 4 percentage points in ELA from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while math was nearly flat and science fell by 2 points; state results rose in all three subjects. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Tokay rose from 47 to 60 over three years, while Live Oak Elementary fell from 30 to 17. The reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–25 also vary: 51% at Valley Robotics, 83% at Borchardt, 94% at Needham and 79% at Liberty. These figures provide context, not an explanation for school results; recent subject trends and grade-specific results can offer a different picture from all-grades scores.
