Summary:
ZIP code 95901 has 17 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including seven elementary, two middle, three high and five alternative schools; most are part of Marysville Joint Unified, alongside charter and county-office options. In 2025–2026, the average reported school results were 36% in ELA, 22% in math and 23% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. The clearest area-wide pattern is that average reported school results trail state rates in all three subjects, most sharply in math.
Loma Rica Elementary led in All Grades ELA and math, with 61% and 47%, respectively, versus 49% and 38% statewide. Marysville Charter Academy for the Arts led in science at 44%, compared with 36% statewide. Grade-level results show where those strengths are concentrated: Loma Rica’s third-grade ELA and math were 75% and 81%, while the Academy’s 11th-grade ELA and science were 79% and 62%; however, its eighth-grade math was 14%, below the state’s 36%. At the low end, Thomas E. Mathews Community recorded 9% in ELA and 0% in math; its science score was suppressed. Yuba County Career Preparatory Charter had the lowest reported science result, 10%.
Recent results are mixed rather than steadily improving: among schools with scores in both years, the average rose by 1 percentage point in ELA and math, while science was roughly unchanged; the state science rate rose by 3 points. Marysville High had a notable ELA gain of 16 points, while Foothill Intermediate fell 9 points in ELA. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking for Loma Rica rose from 51st to 68th between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, while the Academy’s fell from 94th to 83rd. The reported low-income measure is free/reduced lunch eligible (FRL), for school year 2024–2025: Loma Rica and the Academy each reported 52%, while Career Preparatory reported 90%; these figures are context, not explanations of results. Because schools serve different grades and include alternative settings, All Grades results are not fully like-for-like.
