Summary:
Zip code 96092 has one listed public school, Vina Elementary, serving grades 1–8 and 80 students, so there is no other local school for a direct comparison. In 2025–2026, its English language arts (ELA) proficiency was essentially even with California’s at 49% versus 49%, and its math proficiency was higher at 46% versus 38%. Science was lower, at 28% versus 36%. The most important finding is that results vary substantially by subject: math is a relative strength, while science is the clearest gap against the state.
Vina Elementary is the only school in the area, so it cannot be called a local leader or trailer; compared with the state, its strongest result is math and its weakest is science. Compared with the Los Molinos Unified district, Vina was ahead in ELA by 11 percentage points (49% versus 39%) and math by 16 points (46% versus 30%), but behind in science by 4 points (28% versus 32%). Sixth-grade math stands out among the reported grade-level results: 62% proficiency compared with 37% statewide. By contrast, the reported fifth-, sixth-, and seventh-grade ELA results were each below state results, as was fifth-grade science.
Recent changes are mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA rose from 42% to 49%, while math fell from 51% to 46% and science dropped from 45% to 28%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also declined, from the 79th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 61st in 2024–2025 and 55th in 2025–2026; the latest rating is three stars. Other context includes chronic absenteeism of 11% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 19% and state’s 18%, a 20.5 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, and 53% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. These figures offer context, not a basis for attributing the achievement results.
