Summary:

Zip code 95672 has two K–5 elementary schools, Rescue Elementary and Green Valley Elementary, both in the Rescue Union Elementary district. In 2025–26, both schools scored above California’s results in all-grades ELA, math, and science, but the schools’ results differ substantially. The clearest area-wide finding is that Rescue leads Green Valley in every subject, with its largest lead in math.

Rescue Elementary stands out at the top: it scored 77% in ELA, 71% in math, and 50% in science, compared with 59%, 51%, and 37% at Green Valley Elementary. Those are school-to-school gaps of 18 percentage points in ELA, 20 in math, and 13 in science. Green Valley is the lower-scoring school in the pair, but remains above state results of 49% in ELA, 38% in math, and 36% in science. Its science score is only 1 percentage point above the state; its ELA and math scores are 9 and 13 points above. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 rankings also favor Rescue: 580th of 5,804 California schools, in the 90th percentile with five stars, versus Green Valley at 1,647th, in the 72nd percentile with four stars.

Recent changes were mixed: Rescue’s ELA rose 5 percentage points and math rose 1 point from 2024–25, while its science fell 7 points. Green Valley declined in all three: ELA by 5 points, math by 3, and science by 9. Both schools’ science scores fell as the state’s rose, and the schools’ average advantage over the state across subjects narrowed by about 5 points, from 21 to 16. SchoolDigger’s percentile history shows Rescue rising from 82nd in 2023–24 to 90th in 2025–26, while Green Valley went from 73rd to 72nd after reaching 78th in 2024–25. Other reported differences may help families compare, but do not explain the test results: in 2024–25, Rescue had 519 students, a 24.7 student-teacher ratio, and 25% free/reduced lunch eligible; Green Valley had 334 students, a 22.2 ratio, and 41% free/reduced lunch eligible. In 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 9% at Rescue and 12% at Green Valley, both below the state’s 18%.
