Summary:
ZIP code 95963 has five elementary schools: Mill Street Elementary serves kindergarten through grade 2, Fairview Elementary serves grades 3–5, and Plaza Elementary, Capay Joint Union Elementary, and Lake Elementary serve K–8. Four schools have test results for 2025–26; Mill Street has no reported scores in the supplied data. The clearest overall finding is that results vary sharply: the gap between the highest- and lowest-scoring schools is 44 points in ELA, 50 in math, and 36 in science.
Plaza is the most consistent all-subject standout: its 2025–26 results were 67% in ELA, 70% in math, and 56% in science—18, 31, and 20 percentage points above state results. Lake led ELA at 71% and was also above the state in math and science. SchoolDigger’s rankings place Plaza at the 88th percentile and Lake at the 77th. At the other end, Fairview scored 27% in ELA, 20% in math, and 19% in science, below the state by 22, 19, and 17 points; SchoolDigger ranked it at the 14th percentile. Capay was near state results in ELA and math but 12 points below in science.
Scores rose in all three subjects at each of the four schools between 2024–25 and 2025–26; the four-school average increased by 8 points in ELA, 5 in math, and 6 in science. Grade-level results offer more detail: Lake led grades 3 and 4 ELA, while Plaza led grades 3–5 math; Lake’s fifth-grade ELA and math, however, were just below state results. As context, 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible figures ranged from 30% at Plaza to 85% at Fairview; among the three K–8 schools, student-teacher ratios were similar, from 20.6 to 21.5. Grade spans differ, so all-grades comparisons are not perfectly matched, and two years of results do not establish a long-term trend.
