Summary:
ZIP code 95946 has one elementary school, Williams Ranch Elementary, serving kindergarten through third grade and enrolling 247 students. In 2025–26, its all-grades results were 45% in English language arts (ELA) and 41% in math, compared with 49% and 38% statewide. The most important recent finding is that scores fell sharply from the previous year, especially in ELA, while state results changed little.
There is no local top or bottom school to compare: Williams Ranch is the only school in the list. Its latest results vary by subject and grade: all-grades math was 3 points above the state, while all-grades ELA was 5 points below; in third grade, ELA was 1 point above the state, but math was 6 points below. Against Penn Valley Union Elementary, all-grades math was 14 points higher, while third-grade results were closer—2 points higher in ELA and about even in math. SchoolDigger ranked Williams Ranch 706th of 5,869 schools, at the 88th percentile with 4 stars, in 2023–24.
The recent test-score decline contrasts with Williams Ranch’s earlier results: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA fell from 56% to 45% and math from 54% to 41%, declines of 11 and 13 points. State ELA edged up by less than a point and state math by 1 point; the school shifted from 7 points above the state to 5 below in ELA, and from 17 points above to 3 above in math. Other context: the school’s student–teacher ratio was 22.4 in 2024–25, and 57% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; California provides free meals to all students statewide. SchoolDigger’s historical percentile ranking rose from 74 in 2021–22 to 78 in 2022–23 and 88 in 2023–24, a 14-point increase, but those rankings predate the latest score decline.
