Summary:
ZIP code 95709 has two K–8 schools: Camino Elementary, with 375 students, and Camino Polytechnic, with 31. Their 2024–2025 results show very different strengths by subject, while only Camino Elementary has 2025–2026 scores. The clearest takeaway is that neither school leads across the board: Polytechnic stands out in ELA, but Elementary is far stronger in math.
In 2024–2025 ELA, Polytechnic was the standout, with 78% proficiency compared with Elementary’s 52%, a 26-point difference; Polytechnic was 29 points above the state, while Elementary was 3 points above. Math reversed the picture: Elementary had 38% proficiency versus Polytechnic’s 12%, a 26-point gap; Elementary was about level with the state, while Polytechnic was 26 points below. The two-school average was 65% in ELA, 16 points above the state, but 25% in math, 12 points below. These contrasting results make subject-by-subject comparisons more useful than calling either school the overall leader.
Elementary’s 2025–2026 results were slightly above the state in ELA (52% versus 49%) and science (39% versus 36%), but below it in math (37% versus 38%). Its ELA score was essentially unchanged from the prior year, while math fell by 1 point and science by 2; the grade-level math spread was especially wide, from 63% in fourth grade to 16% in eighth. SchoolDigger ranked Elementary at the 63rd percentile and gave it three stars in 2025–2026, after 60th percentile in 2023–2024 and 65th in 2024–2025. In 2024–2025, its student–teacher ratio was 16.8, compared with Polytechnic’s 17.2; free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 56% and 65%, respectively. These are contextual differences, not explanations for the scores. Polytechnic has no 2025–2026 test results, so current-year comparisons across both schools are unavailable.
