Summary:

ZIP code 95632 has six elementary schools in the Galt Joint Union Elementary district: five serve kindergarten through sixth grade, while Fairsite serves kindergarten only. Among the five schools with 2025–2026 test results, average proficiency was 51% in English language arts (ELA) and 44% in math, both above state averages of 49% and 38%; science averaged 31%, below the state’s 36%. The most important area-wide concern is science: it was below the state average, and school results spanned 26 percentage points.

River Oaks Elementary led all three subjects in 2025–2026, with 58% proficient in ELA, 50% in math, and 41% in science—about 8, 8, and 12 points above the other four schools’ averages. At the other end, Valley Oaks Elementary scored 43% in ELA, 35% in math, and 14% in science, trailing the other schools’ averages by about 10, 11, and 21 points. Grade-level results add important nuance: Lake Canyon Elementary had 68% proficiency in both third-grade ELA and math, 24 and 21 points above state results, while four of the five schools fell below the state in fifth-grade ELA.

Recent changes were mixed: the five-school averages rose by less than one point in each subject from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while the state science average rose 3 points and the schools’ science gap widened from about 2 to 5 points below the state. SchoolDigger ranks River Oaks 1,595th of 5,804 statewide, the strongest position in this group; Valley Oaks ranks 3,172nd. The schools’ context measures do not explain results: all five tested schools report free/reduced lunch eligible rates for 2024–2025, averaging 57%, and River Oaks leads despite a 57% rate, while Marengo Ranch Elementary has the lowest rate, 50%. River Oaks also has the lowest student–teacher ratio, 21.0, compared with Valley Oaks’ 23.5. Fairsite has no test-score results in the supplied data.
