Summary:

ZIP code 95490 has four elementary schools, serving grades K–2 through K–8, with enrollments from 59 to 350; three have achievement results in the supplied data, while Brookside Elementary has none. All-grades results are not fully comparable because the schools serve different grade spans. The clearest finding is that no school leads across subjects: in 2025–2026, Sherwood led reported math at 36%, while Blosser Lane Elementary led science at 27%; their ELA results were close, at 28% and 27%.

Willits Elementary Charter stood out in 2024–2025, with 45% proficient in ELA and 34% in math—about 4 and 3 points below state results, respectively. In the same year, Sherwood had the highest reported math result at 35%, just above the Charter’s 34%. Blosser Lane Elementary was lowest in 2024–2025 ELA and math, at 20% and 13%. In 2025–2026, Sherwood led math at 36%, 2 points below the state, while Blosser Lane Elementary was at 21%.

Blosser Lane Elementary improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 by 7 points in ELA, 7 in math and 20 in science; Sherwood’s ELA fell 5 points while its math rose 1. SchoolDigger’s Blosser ranking also improved, from the 4th percentile with 0 stars in 2024–2025 to the 18th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026. School profiles differ too: in 2024–2025, student–teacher ratios ranged from 15.9 at Sherwood to 23.9 at Blosser Lane Elementary; free/reduced lunch eligible figures that year ranged from 52% at Willits Elementary Charter to 72% at Brookside Elementary. These measures provide context, not explanations for achievement.
