Summary

Its 2025–2026 results are well above district and state averages in ELA and math, and its fifth-grade science results are also higher.

ELA proficiency was 87%, 13 points above the district and 31 above the state, and 9 points above nearby schools’ average. Fifth-grade science was 78%, ahead of the district by 10 points and the state by 31, but only 5 points above the nearby average.

In fifth-grade math, Patterson’s 75% was around the middle of its nearby comparison group.

Results have climbed over the three reported years: ELA rose 21 percentage points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, and math rose 17 points.
