Best Public Schools in Zip Code 95333

Zip code 95333 in Le Grand, California, is served by three public schools—one K-8 elementary and two high schools—enrolling a total of 848 students across two districts, all serving predominantly economically disadvantaged student populations.

Among these schools, Le Grand High stands out as the strongest performer, boasting a 98.3% graduation rate, the lowest chronic absenteeism at 7.6%, and English Language Arts proficiency that exceeds the state average, though it, like the other schools, faces challenges in math and science. In contrast, Granada High is a much smaller school of only 20 students with very high chronic absenteeism (44.4%) and historically low rankings. Le Grand Elementary shows promising improvement, moving from the 25th to the 38th percentile, with notably strong 7th-grade performance that drops sharply by 8th grade.

The Le Grand Union High district, which includes both high schools, generally outperforms the Le Grand Union Elementary district. A key finding is that despite similar economic challenges, outcomes vary significantly between schools, demonstrating that high poverty rates do not preclude success, as seen at Le Grand High. The dramatic performance decline in 8th grade at the elementary school and the stark differences between the two high schools are important areas for further understanding.
