Summary:
Zip code 95632 has 10 schools—six elementary schools, one middle school and three high schools—serving kindergarten through grade 12. Fairsite Elementary serves kindergarten only and has no proficiency results in these data. In 2025–2026, the five K–6 schools averaged 44% in math, above the state’s 38%, while the middle school and two comprehensive high schools each averaged about 32%, below the state. The clearest area-wide finding is that math results are stronger in the K–6 group than in middle and high school.
River Oaks Elementary leads the K–6 schools in all three subjects, with 58% proficiency in ELA, 50% in math and 41% in science; Valley Oaks Elementary has the lowest results, at 43%, 35% and 14%, respectively. River Oaks’ leads over Valley Oaks are 15 points in ELA, 15 in math and 26 in science. Lake Canyon Elementary also stands out in math, with 50% proficiency, alongside River Oaks; both are above the state’s 38%. Among high schools, Liberty Ranch High leads with 70% ELA, 37% math and 45% science, compared with Galt High at 66%, 27% and 41%. Estrellita Continuation High has the lowest reported proficiency in each subject; SchoolDigger ranks Liberty Ranch at the 76th percentile and Estrellita at the 3rd.
Recent results and rankings show different paths rather than broad, uniform improvement.

The reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–2025 range from Lake Canyon’s 51% to Valley Oaks’ 69%; River Oaks and Vernon E. Greer Elementary have similar shares, about 57%, despite different results. Attendance is another point to weigh: chronic absenteeism is 56% at Estrellita and 30% at Fairsite, compared with 18% statewide.
