Schools in Zip Code 95350

Zip code 95350 has 20 schools, from elementary through high school, including alternative programs. In 2025–2026, the average of the 17 schools with reported scores was 33% in English language arts (ELA), 24% in math and 21% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The central finding is that results vary widely from school to school, so the area-wide averages don’t describe every school well.

Daniel J. Savage Middle led in ELA at 52%, about 3 points above the state; Mary Lou Dieterich Elementary led in math at 40%, about 2 points above the state; and Standiford Elementary led in science at 35%, about 1 point below the state. At the other end, Robert Elliott Alternative Education Center scored 3% in ELA, 4% in math and 8% in science—the lowest reported results in each subject. Grace M. Davis High offers a different picture: its 98% graduation rate was about 10 points above the state, even as its scores were below state results in all three subjects.

Recent changes were mixed: across the 17 schools with scores in both years, average results fell about 1 point in ELA and math and rose about 1 point in science, while the gap from state results widened by about 2 points in each subject. Savage improved in all three subjects, while Woodrow Elementary fell in all three; William Garrison Elementary had the largest science increase, about 11 points. The reported low-income measure was free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025: Dieterich reported 62% and Standiford 71%, while Great Valley Academy - Salida reported 31%; these figures are context, not an explanation for results. All Grades scores span different grade ranges, so they are not perfectly like-for-like comparisons.
