Summary:
ZIP code 95367 has six schools serving kindergarten through 12th grade: three elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools. In 2025–2026, the schools’ average proficiency was below the state average in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but results varied widely from school to school. Because the schools serve different grade spans, all-grades results are broad snapshots. The most important takeaway is that school-level differences are substantial, so an area-wide average does not describe the choices equally well.
Riverbank Language Academy leads all-grades ELA at 53% and math at 45%, about 4 and 7 percentage points above state results; it is also above the state in both subjects in every reported grade from sixth through eighth. Crossroads Elementary leads science at 38%, about 2 points above the state, and has the strongest third-grade ELA and math results among the three elementary schools. At the other end, California Avenue Elementary has the lowest all-grades ELA (19%) and the lowest elementary-school math and science results (11% and 14%). Adelante High has the lowest all-grades math (0%) and science (9%); its enrollment is 40.
Results improved overall year over year, with the largest gain in science: the six-school averages rose 1 point in ELA, 2 points in math, and 5 points in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while the state averages rose less in each subject. Even so, the averages remain about 12 points below the state in ELA, 16 in math, and 13 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Crossroads at the 61st percentile and Riverbank Language Academy at the 62nd, compared with the 4th percentile for California Avenue. As context, the reported measure is free/reduced lunch eligible (FRL) for 2024–2025: 61% at Crossroads and 86% at California Avenue; their student–teacher ratios are 23.5 and 20.7, respectively. These figures describe differences between schools but do not explain them.
