Summary:
ZIP code 95379 has four schools: one K–8 school, Summerville Elementary, and three high schools—Summerville High, Connections Visual and Performing Arts Academy, and Long Barn High. The latest reported proficiency results are for 2025–2026. The clearest area-wide finding is that achievement varies sharply: Connections leads all three subjects among schools with reported results.
Connections is the academic standout, with 83% proficient in ELA, 49% in math, and 54% in science—about 34, 10, and 18 percentage points above state rates, respectively. At the other end, Summerville Elementary had 47% proficiency in ELA, 21% in math, and 27% in science, below the state in each. Connections leads the elementary school by 36 points in ELA, 27 in math, and 27 in science. Summerville High sits between them: its ELA result was 65%, above the state, while math at 26% and science at 34% were below. The two high schools’ results also differ in 11th grade: Connections led Summerville High by 17 points in ELA, 16 in math, and 7 in science.
Recent changes are mixed: the average for the three schools with scores fell by about 1 point in ELA and 1 point in math from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while rising 4 points in science. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings place Connections at the 80th percentile, Summerville High at the 62nd, and Summerville Elementary at the 36th; since 2023–2024, the high schools’ percentiles fell by 15 and 12 points, while the elementary school’s slipped 1 point. As context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible rates were 31% at Connections, 46% at Summerville High, and 45% at Summerville Elementary; these figures do not explain score differences. Connections also had a 100% graduation rate, but chronic absenteeism was 24%, above the state’s 18%. Long Barn High’s 2025–2026 school-level test results are suppressed and unknown, so it cannot be ranked academically.
