Summary:
ZIP code 95682 has three elementary schools: Blue Oak Elementary and Buckeye Elementary serve kindergarten through grade 5, while Latrobe Elementary serves kindergarten through grade 3. The latest results are for 2025–26, and the clearest comparison is between the two K–5 schools. Blue Oak leads Buckeye in all three reported subjects, by 17 percentage points in English language arts (ELA), 20 in math, and 19 in science.
Blue Oak is the strongest of the schools with current results in all three subjects, scoring 65% in ELA, 60% in math, and 56% in science. Those results were 16, 22, and 20 points above California, respectively. Buckeye had the lowest reported scores in each subject: 48% in ELA, 40% in math, and 37% in science; it was 1 point below the state in ELA and about 1 point above in math and science. Latrobe scored 69% in both ELA and math in 2024–25, well above the state, but serves a different grade span. Its 2025–26 all-grades ELA and math scores are suppressed, so its current standing cannot be compared.
Recent results diverged: Blue Oak was nearly unchanged in ELA and science from 2024–25 to 2025–26 and improved 4 points in math, while Buckeye fell 9 points in ELA, 15 in math, and 13 in science. SchoolDigger rates Blue Oak four stars and places it in the 83rd percentile; Buckeye has three stars and is in the 58th percentile. Class-size context differs too: 2024–25 student–teacher ratios were 26.1 at Blue Oak, 24.6 at Buckeye, and 13.7 at Latrobe. The schools’ 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible measures were 23% at Blue Oak, 40% at Buckeye, and 29% at Latrobe; these are contextual figures, not explanations for score differences.
