Summary:
Zip code 95987 has one listed middle school, Williams Upper Elementary, which serves grades 4–6; there are no other listed schools for parents to compare locally. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was 28% in ELA, 13% in math, and 15% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The most important finding is that results were below the state in every subject, with the largest gap in math: 26 percentage points, compared with about 21 points in ELA and science.
Williams is both the highest- and lowest-performing school in this one-school list by default, so the data cannot identify a genuine local leader or laggard; no SchoolDigger ranking or star rating is supplied. Within the school, ELA is the highest all-grades result and math the lowest, but science is closest to the state while math is farthest below. Grade-level results point to particularly low math proficiency in grades 5 and 6: about 7% in each grade, versus about 37% statewide, a gap of roughly 30 points. ELA also declines across the grades, from 33% in grade 4 to 23% in grade 6.
Results improved in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: Williams gained 3 percentage points in ELA, 2 in math, and 5 in science, and narrowed its gap with the state in each subject. That progress is encouraging, though substantial gaps remain. Chronic absenteeism was 16%, below the district’s 19% and the state’s 18%. The school has 289 students and a 24:1 student–teacher ratio; its reported low-income measure was 92% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. These figures offer context, not a basis for choosing among local schools, since only one is listed.
