Summary:
ZIP code 95951 has one listed elementary school, Hamilton Elementary, serving grades K–8 with 393 students. With no other listed school for comparison, the most useful guide is how Hamilton’s results compare with California and how they vary by grade. In 2025–2026, Hamilton’s all-grades proficiency was 28% in ELA, 18% in math, and 14% in science, compared with 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. The central finding is that Hamilton remained about 20 to 22 percentage points below the state in all three core subjects.
Hamilton is both the only listed school and, by default, the area’s top and bottom school; there is no local school-to-school comparison. Within Hamilton, however, results differed considerably by grade. Third-grade math was its strongest core-subject result relative to the state: 41% versus 47%, a 6-point gap. Fifth-grade math was the weakest: 6% versus 37%, a 31-point gap. In ELA, seventh grade was closest to the state rate at 40% versus 51% (11 points lower), while fourth grade was farthest below at 21% versus 46% (24 points lower). A notable exception in Spanish testing was fifth-grade listening, where Hamilton scored 41% versus 32% statewide, about 8 points higher; the all-grades Spanish results remained below state rates.
ELA improved over time, while math and science did not keep pace: Hamilton’s all-grades ELA rose from 19% in 2024–2025 to 28% in 2025–2026, narrowing its state gap by 9 points. Math dipped by less than 1 point as the state rose, widening the gap by 1 point; science fell by 1 point as the state rose by 3, widening its gap by 4 points. SchoolDigger ranked Hamilton at the 18th percentile in 2023–2024 and the 12th percentile in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Other context: the student-teacher ratio was 18.1 in 2024–2025, and 91% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 6% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 18%. These figures describe Hamilton, but one school’s results cannot show how local schools compare with one another.
