Best Public Schools in Zip Code 95993

Summary:

The 95993 zip code in Yuba City, California, is served by nine public schools across three districts, including five elementary schools, two high schools, and two alternative schools, educating approximately 5,600 students from kindergarten through 12th grade.

Parents will find a mix of school performance within the area. Franklin Elementary stands out as the highest-ranked school, part of its own Franklin Elementary district, with strong test scores and remarkably low chronic absenteeism. Other strong performers in the Yuba City Unified district include Tierra Buena Elementary and Butte Vista Elementary, which also achieve above-average results. In contrast, Andros Karperos is a lower-ranked elementary school facing greater challenges.

The two high schools show notable differences; River Valley High has seen a recent drop in its statewide ranking and struggles particularly with mathematics proficiency, while the alternative schools under the Sutter County Office of Education serve specialized populations with very high chronic absenteeism and varied approaches to funding and graduation rates. Across all schools, chronic absenteeism is a strong indicator of overall performance, with the highest-achieving schools also having the best attendance.
