Summary:
Zip code 95565 has one listed school, Stanwood A. Murphy Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 8 with 187 students; there are no other schools in the list for local school-to-school comparisons. In 2025–2026, 60% of students were proficient in all-grades ELA, 66% in math and 62% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide. That put the school ahead of California by 11 percentage points in ELA, 27 points in math and 26 points in science. The clearest headline is that the school outperformed the state in all three subjects, with its largest advantages in math and science.
Within the school, grade 5 was the strongest reported grade in both ELA and math, with 93% proficient in each; the lowest results were 45% in grade 4 ELA and 39% in grade 8 math. Grade 5 science was also higher than grade 8 science, at 71% versus 57%. Compared with state results in the same grades, the school was ahead in every reported grade-and-subject comparison except grade 4 ELA, where it was behind by 1 percentage point. Its largest listed grade-level lead was in grade 5 math: 93% proficient versus 37% statewide, a 56-point advantage. These differences show that strong schoolwide results do not mean every grade has equally high results.
Results shifted in different directions from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA fell by 8 percentage points and math by 5, while science rose by 5. The school’s lead over the state narrowed in ELA by 9 points and in math by 6, but grew in science by 2. SchoolDigger rates the school 4 stars and ranks it 842nd of 5,804 California schools, at the 85th percentile; its percentile rose from 72 in 2023–2024 to 86 in 2024–2025 before easing to 85. The student–teacher ratio was 17.5:1 in 2024–2025, and 72% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
