Summary:
ZIP code 96064 has six elementary schools, and all serve kindergarten through eighth grade; 2025–26 all-grades results are available for five schools in ELA and math and four in science. Among schools with results, the average was 35% in ELA, 32% in math and 31% in science, compared with statewide averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. The clearest area-wide concern is ELA, where the school average was 15 percentage points below the state average.
The top school depends on the subject: Delphic Elementary led ELA at 45%, 4 points below the state; Little Shasta Elementary led math at 42%, 3 points above the state; and Willow Creek Elementary led science at 45%, 9 points above. Big Springs Elementary was lowest among schools with results in all three subjects: 19% in ELA, 7% in math and 13% in science, respectively 30, 31 and 23 points below state results. Montague Elementary has a striking grade-level contrast: eighth-grade math was 62%, 25 points above the state, while fifth-grade ELA was 20%, 29 points below.
Recent trends are mixed: among the same schools with comparable results, the average math gap with the state narrowed by 4 points, the ELA gap narrowed by less than a point, and the science gap widened by 4 points. SchoolDigger ranks Montague at the 42nd percentile (2 stars) and Big Springs at the 2nd percentile (0 stars). Other measures offer context, not a simple explanation: in 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 27.9 at Big Springs and 19.7 at Montague, while free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 56% at Little Shasta to 80% at Bogus Elementary. The supplied data do not provide a 2025–26 all-grades score for Bogus or a science result for Little Shasta, and small school enrollments call for care in interpreting comparisons.
