Summary:
Zip code 95968 has one listed elementary school, Honcut, in the Palermo Union Elementary district. It serves kindergarten through third grade and enrolls 14 students, so this is a small, early-grades school rather than a set of local options to compare. The clearest finding for parents is attendance: in 2025–2026, Honcut’s chronic absenteeism was 0%, compared with 15% districtwide and 18% statewide.
Honcut stands out for its reported attendance, not for a documented academic position: its chronic absenteeism was 15 percentage points below the district figure and 18 points below the state figure. With only one school listed and its ELA and math results—including third grade—suppressed, there is no academic school-to-school comparison or measurable school achievement trend.
The benchmark figures show that subject patterns vary by grade and comparison group, but they do not establish how Honcut students performed. For all grades in 2025–2026, state ELA proficiency was 49%, versus 38% in math, an 11-point difference; district ELA was 35%, versus 21% in math, a 14-point gap. In third grade, state math was 47%, 3 points above ELA at 44%, while district ELA was 30%, 3 points above math at 28%. Honcut’s 2024–2025 measure was 79% free/reduced lunch eligible; this is context, not an explanation of results. SchoolDigger rankings and star ratings are not included in the supplied information.
