Summary:
Zip code 95358 has one middle school, Evelyn Hanshaw Middle, serving grades 7–8 with 650 students. The most important finding for families is that its 2025–26 proficiency was below the state in all three subjects: 27% in English language arts (ELA), 21% in mathematics, and 22% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%, respectively. The largest gap was in ELA, where the school was 22 percentage points below the state.
Because it is the only school in the list, Evelyn Hanshaw is both the highest and lowest performer locally; there is no school-to-school comparison. Science is its relative bright spot: proficiency was about 1 point above the Modesto City Elementary district’s result, though still 14 points below the state. In ELA and math, the school was 7 and 4 points below the district. Grade 8 results were higher than grade 7 in both reported subjects: by 5 points in ELA and 6 points in math, although both grades remained below state results. SchoolDigger gave the school one star and ranked it 2,106th of 2,703 California schools, at the 22nd percentile.
Recent results moved in different directions: science rose 8 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while ELA fell about 1 point and math fell about 1 point. The state gaps narrowed by 4 points in science but widened by 1 point in ELA and 2 points in math. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from 2,340th (16th percentile) in 2023–24 to 2,106th (22nd percentile) in 2025–26, though the percentile slipped 1 point from the prior year. As context, 93% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, the student–teacher ratio was 19.8:1, and chronic absenteeism was 18% in 2025–26—about the state rate and 1 point above the district. With only one school included, these figures cannot show how it compares with similar local schools.
