Summary:
Zip code 95918 has one listed school, Browns Valley Elementary, a K–5 school serving 126 students in Marysville Joint Unified. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency rates were 64% in English language arts (ELA), 65% in mathematics, and 52% in science. The most important finding is that the school outperformed California in all three subjects, with its largest lead in mathematics.
Browns Valley Elementary is the only school listed, so there is no local top-or-bottom comparison to make. Against the state, its proficiency advantage was 15 percentage points in ELA, 26 points in mathematics, and 16 points in science; it was also ahead of its district by 30, 44, and 30 points, respectively. Third grade was the strongest reported grade relative to the state in ELA and math: results were 71% and 79%, with leads of 27 and 32 points. Fourth grade had the smallest leads in those subjects, at 9 points in ELA and 15 in math. Chronic absenteeism was 5%, compared with 19% in the district and 18% statewide.
Results over time are mixed: ELA proficiency rose 3 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and the school’s state lead widened from 12 to 15 points. Math rose about 1 point, with its lead essentially steady at 27 points one year and 26 the next. Science fell 6 points while the state rate rose 3, narrowing the school’s science lead from 25 to 16 points. SchoolDigger gave the school 4 stars and ranked it 1,001 of 5,804 schools, in the 83rd percentile; its percentile was 80th the prior year and 86th in 2023–2024, so the longer-term trend is not a steady climb. The school reported 39% free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025; California’s statewide free-meals status means all students receive free school meals, so that figure is best read as context rather than a comparison with another school.
