Summary:
Zip code 95556 has one listed school, Orleans Elementary, serving kindergarten through eighth grade and enrolling 62 students. Because it is the only school listed, there is no meaningful local school-to-school comparison. The main takeaway is a mixed achievement picture: the school is ahead of the state in English language arts and science, but behind in math.
Orleans Elementary’s strongest 2025–26 result was ELA: 59% of students were proficient, compared with 49% statewide, a 10-point advantage. Science was also above the state, at 41% versus 36%, or 5 points higher. Math was the clearest weakness: 30% were proficient, compared with 38% statewide, an 9-point shortfall. Eighth-grade ELA stood out especially, at 69% versus 49% statewide; eighth-grade math and science were slightly below their state benchmarks.
Results improved in ELA and science from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while math declined: ELA rose 8 points and science 6, while math fell 5. The school’s advantage over the state widened in ELA, from 2 to 10 points, and in science, from 2 to 5 points; its math gap widened from 3 to 9 points below the state. These two years show recent changes, not a long-term trend. SchoolDigger’s older 2021–22 rating was 0 stars, rank 5,351 of 5,883, in the 9th percentile, so it should not be read as a ranking of current results. Other context: the student–teacher ratio was 15.5 in 2024–25, and 73% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 27% in 2025–26, compared with 18% statewide.
