Summary:
ZIP code 95382 includes seven schools serving grades K–12: five elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. In 2025–2026, the schools’ average proficiency was below the state result in English language arts (ELA), math and science, with science showing the largest average gap: 9 percentage points, compared with 6 in ELA and 7 in math. The clearest finding for families is how widely results vary from one school to another.
Walnut Elementary Education Center is the standout, leading all three subjects with 66% in ELA, 64% in math and 46% in science—about 17, 26 and 10 points above state results. At the other end, Walter M. Brown Elementary had the lowest ELA score, 29%, and math score, 19%; both were about 20 points below the state. Crowell Elementary had the lowest science result, 16%, about 20 points below the state. There are meaningful strengths beyond the top overall school: Sandra Tovar Medeiros Elementary led elementary schools in fifth-grade ELA at 64%, versus 61% at Walnut and 49% statewide. SchoolDigger placed Walnut at the 83rd statewide percentile and Crowell and Brown at the 17th.
Recent changes are mixed: the average school result rose by 2 points in ELA and 1 point in math and science from 2024–2025, but the state’s science result rose by 3 points, widening that gap. Crowell and Brown improved in all three subjects; Walnut gained in ELA and math but fell 8 points in science. Context measures also differ: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 40% at Walnut to 78% at Crowell. Walnut had the highest elementary student–teacher ratio, 25.5, while Brown had the lowest, 22.2, so these measures do not neatly track achievement.
