Summary:
ZIP code 95819 has one listed high school, Umoja International Academy, which serves grades 7–12 and enrolls 412 students. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency was 34% in English language arts, 14% in math and 29% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide. Graduation was 96% and dropout was 0%, both better than the state figures of 88% and 8%; chronic absenteeism, however, was 38%, 19 percentage points above the state’s 18%. The clearest academic concern is math: proficiency was 25 percentage points below the state.
Results vary sharply by grade, with notable upper-grade strengths and weaker middle-grade results. Grade 12 science proficiency was 65%, 32 percentage points above the state, and grade 11 ELA was 79%, 21 points above. By contrast, grade 7 and 8 ELA results were 17 and 25 points below their state benchmarks, while grade 7 and 8 math were 27 and 24 points below. Across all grades, science is the closest subject to the state benchmark, 7 points behind; ELA trails by 14 points. The strong graduation and zero-dropout figures are encouraging, but the high absenteeism rate is a separate concern.
Science improved most over time, while math made no comparable progress: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, Umoja’s science proficiency rose by 10 points and its gap with the state narrowed by 7 points; ELA rose by 2 points, while math slipped slightly and its state gap widened by 1 point. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from 217 of 2,159 schools in 2023–24 to 107 of 2,162 in 2024–25, then fell to 485 of 2,137 in 2025–26. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 17.2:1, and 68% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. Because this list contains just one school, it cannot provide a local school-to-school comparison.
