Summary:

ZIP code 95252 has three schools serving elementary and middle-school grades: Jenny Lind Elementary (K–6), Valley Springs Elementary (K–5), and Toyon Middle (6–8); there are no high schools in the area. In 2025–2026, all three were below California proficiency rates in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The schools’ simple averages were 21% in ELA, 16% in math, and 16% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%. Most importantly, the area’s average proficiency fell in all three subjects while state rates rose.

Valley Springs Elementary stands out in math, with 24% proficient—7 points above Jenny Lind Elementary and 16 points above Toyon Middle. Jenny Lind narrowly leads ELA at 25% and science at 18%, about 1 point above Valley Springs in each subject. Toyon is lowest in all three: its 14% ELA, 8% math, and 13% science results trail the next-lowest school by 10, 9, and 4 points, respectively. Grade-level results offer some exceptions: Valley Springs leads among the elementary schools in third- and fifth-grade ELA and math, while Jenny Lind leads in fourth grade; Toyon’s seventh- and eighth-grade ELA rates are close to district results, and its eighth-grade math and science are slightly higher.

Recent results differ by school, even though no three-school average improved: ELA fell by 3 points, math by less than 1 point, and science by 1 point from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Toyon’s math fell by 9 points, while Jenny Lind rose by 2 and Valley Springs by 6. SchoolDigger places Toyon at the 4th statewide percentile, Jenny Lind at the 12th, and Valley Springs at the 15th for 2025–2026; each is lower than its 2023–2024 percentile. For context, the schools’ free/reduced lunch eligible measures for 2024–2025 were 56% at Toyon, 47% at Jenny Lind, and 59% at Valley Springs; these figures do not explain the different results. Chronic absenteeism was 43% at Toyon, 31% at Jenny Lind, and 37% at Valley Springs, compared with 18% statewide. The schools serve different grade spans, so their all-grades results are not perfectly like-for-like.
