Summary:
Two elementary schools serve ZIP code 95903: Lone Tree Elementary serves kindergarten through grade 5 and enrolls 305 students, while Wheatland Charter Academy serves kindergarten through grade 4 and enrolls 89. In 2025–26, both schools exceeded the state’s all-grades proficiency rates in English language arts (ELA) and math: the state rates were 49% in ELA and 38% in math. The clearest area-wide strength is math, where both schools’ results were notably above the state rate.
Wheatland Charter Academy led the all-grades comparison, by 5 percentage points in ELA and 14 points in math; neither school fell below the state in those subjects. Lone Tree Elementary reported 55% proficiency in science, 19 points above the state, but it is the only school with a reported science result. Grade-level results show different strengths: Lone Tree fourth graders were about 24 points above state rates in both ELA and math, while Wheatland Charter third graders were 13 points above the state in math. Both schools’ third-grade ELA results were below the state rate. Wheatland Charter’s fourth-grade ELA and math scores were suppressed, so a direct comparison for that grade is unavailable.
Recent changes were mixed: all-grades ELA fell by 4 percentage points at Lone Tree and 20 points at Wheatland Charter from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while math rose by 3 points at Lone Tree and stayed level at Wheatland Charter. Lone Tree’s science result rose by 19 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking for Lone Tree increased from 67 in 2023–24 to 70 in 2025–26; Wheatland Charter’s rose from 79 in 2022–23 to 92 in 2024–25, with no 2025–26 rank supplied. As context, 2024–25 student-teacher ratios were 21.7:1 at Lone Tree and 22.2:1 at Wheatland Charter; both reported free/reduced lunch eligibility for 2024–25, at 49% and 39%, respectively. These all-grades results are not perfectly like-for-like because the schools serve different grade spans.
