Summary:

ZIP code 96080 has seven elementary schools: five serve K–5 and two serve K–8. In 2025–26, their average proficiency was below the state rate in all three subjects: 24% in ELA versus 49% statewide, 20% in math versus 38%, and 23% in science versus 36%. The most important finding is that the schools’ average results trail the state across ELA, math, and science.

Antelope Elementary leads in ELA and math, with 35% and 38% proficiency; its math rate matches the state, while its ELA rate is 14 percentage points lower. Its math lead is especially clear: it is 11 points ahead of the next-highest school, Bidwell Elementary. In ELA, Antelope is only about 1 point ahead of Reeds Creek Elementary (35.4% versus 34.7%). Jackson Heights Elementary leads reported science at 31%. At the other end, Red Bluff Community Day reports 0% in ELA and math; its science score is suppressed by the state. William M. Metteer Elementary has the second-lowest reported results in both ELA (18%) and math (17%).

Average proficiency moved down from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by 3 points in ELA, 2 in math, and 3 in science, while state rates rose; the gap widened in each subject. There are exceptions: Reeds Creek gained 4 points in ELA and 5 in math, while Antelope’s science score fell 13 points. SchoolDigger ranks Antelope at the 42nd percentile and Jackson Heights at the 31st percentile statewide, with 2 stars each. Schools also vary in context: their 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible shares range from 46% to 87%, and student–teacher ratios range from 4.9 to 23.9; these figures do not sort neatly by achievement.
