Summary:

Schools in zip code 95776 include six schools enrolling 2,962 students, with grade spans from K–6 at the elementary schools to K–12 at Yolo County Special Education, plus high school and alternative programs. The clearest direct comparison is between the two K–6 schools: Spring Lake Elementary scored higher than Ramon S. Tafoya Elementary in every shared tested grade in both English language arts (ELA) and mathematics. Spring Lake’s leads ranged from 19 to 44 points in ELA and 22 to 37 points in mathematics, making it the strongest like-for-like academic performer in the area.

Spring Lake also leads the reported all-grades results: 68% in ELA, 58% in mathematics and 57% in science—19, 19 and 21 points above state results, respectively. Ramon S. Tafoya’s corresponding scores were 36%, 31% and 31%. Pioneer High has a mixed profile: its 11th-grade ELA result was 61%, 3 points above the state, while its mathematics and science results were 22% and 32%, 10 and 7 points below. Yolo County Special Education had the lowest reported all-grades results: 11% in ELA, 15% in mathematics and 0% in science. Cesar Chavez Community stands out for attendance challenges, with 92% chronic absenteeism; Pioneer’s rate was 24%, compared with 3% at Spring Lake. Pioneer also had a 96% graduation rate and a 1% dropout rate. Because schools serve different grade spans and include specialized settings, broad all-grades comparisons are not fully like-for-like.

Recent results show gains and setbacks rather than a uniform trend: among the three non-alternative schools, equal-school averages rose 4 points in ELA and 9 in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, but fell 1 point in mathematics. Spring Lake’s ELA was nearly unchanged, its mathematics fell 6 points and its science rose 7; Ramon S. Tafoya improved in all three subjects. SchoolDigger ranks Spring Lake in the 82nd statewide percentile (4 stars), Pioneer in the 56th (3 stars) and Ramon S. Tafoya in the 38th (2 stars) for 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, their student-teacher ratios were 25.8 at Spring Lake, 25.5 at Ramon S. Tafoya and 20.2 at Pioneer. The 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 35% at Spring Lake and 82% at Ramon S. Tafoya; these are context, not explanations for school results.
