Summary:
ZIP code 95961 has 11 schools—seven elementary, two middle and two high schools—serving grades from kindergarten through grade 12. In 2025–2026, the schools’ average proficiency was 33% in English language arts (ELA), 22% in math and 22% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding is that the group average falls below the state in every subject, while results vary widely from school to school.
Cobblestone Elementary stands out in ELA and math, with 48% and 43% proficient; its math result is 5 points above the state, and its ELA result is 1 point below. It also has the area’s highest SchoolDigger statewide percentile ranking, at the 59th percentile. Rio Del Oro Elementary leads in science at 34%, just below the state’s 36%. At the lower end, Cedar Lane Elementary has 15% ELA proficiency, 35 points below the state, while South Lindhurst Continuation High has 2% in math, 37 points below. Comparisons by grade can look different: in seventh grade, Riverside Meadows Intermediate is ahead of Yuba Gardens Intermediate by 21 points in ELA and 22 in math.
Recent changes are mixed: between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, the school-group average fell by about 1 point in ELA, was roughly flat in math and rose 3 points in science; its gap from the state widened by about 1 point in each subject. Arboga Elementary improved by 6 points in ELA, 3 in math and 7 in science, while Rio Del Oro’s ELA result fell 15 points. Olivehurst Elementary moved up in SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking, from 7th to 19th. As context, all schools report free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025, ranging from 44% at Rio Del Oro to 90% at Cedar Lane; these figures do not explain score differences. Because schools serve different grade spans, all-grades results are not perfect like-for-like comparisons.
