Summary:
ZIP code 95351 has one listed middle school, Mark Twain Junior High, serving grades 7–8, with 658 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grade proficiency was 34% in ELA, 16% in math, and 17% in science. The most important concern is math: the school’s proficiency was 22 percentage points below the state and 8 points below Modesto City Elementary.
Mark Twain Junior High is the only school in the list, so there is no local top or bottom school to compare. Against the state, its smallest gap was in ELA, where proficiency was 34% compared with 49% statewide; science was 17% versus 36%, and math was 16% versus 38%. ELA was nearly even with the district overall, trailing by less than 1 percentage point, while the school was 5 points behind the district in science. Grade 7 ELA was a relative bright spot: 37% proficiency, 4 points above the district, although still 14 points below the state. In grade 8 ELA, the school was 2 points below the district.
Results improved in ELA and science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while math barely moved: ELA rose by 4 percentage points and science by 6, but math gained less than 1 point. The state gaps narrowed in ELA and science but widened by 1 point in math. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking rose from 17 to 21 over three years, yet the school remained at 1 star. Other context includes a 21.5 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 94% free/reduced lunch eligible that school year; these figures describe the school but do not explain its test results. Chronic absenteeism was 18% in 2025–2026, slightly below the state and slightly above the district. Since this ZIP code has only one listed school, the available data cannot show how results vary among local schools.
