The district's schools exhibit a range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Somerset Elementary and Mendota Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, while the district's magnet schools tend to have lower rankings and test scores.
Somerset Elementary and Mendota Elementary stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, with significantly higher test scores in both math and reading compared to the district and state averages.
