Among these schools, Orestimba High stands out as the strongest performer, with a graduation rate of 98.7% and the lowest dropout rate, though its academic proficiency, while the best in the district, still trails state averages.

Overall, the Newman-Crows Landing Unified district lags behind state averages in English, math, and science proficiency. A notable finding is the sharp decline in math scores at Yolo Junior High from 6th to 8th grade. There is also a wide variation in per-student spending, with Hunt Elementary receiving the highest funding despite its low ranking, suggesting a complex relationship between resources and outcomes in the area.
