In 2025–2026, Bayview’s average proficiency across grades 3–5 was 57% in English language arts (ELA), compared with 49% statewide; in math, it was 48% versus 47%. Fifth-grade science was a weaker result: 18% proficient, compared with 27% statewide. The central takeaway is that Bayview’s clearest strength is ELA, while its science result—and fifth-grade math—lag the state.
Bayview’s strongest result was third-grade ELA: 60% proficient, 12 percentage points above the state and 3 points above the district. It also exceeded the state in fourth- and fifth-grade ELA by 9 and 5 points, respectively, though it trailed the district in those grades by 5 and 11 points. The clearest low points were fifth-grade science, 9 points below the state and 12 below the district, and fifth-grade math, 4 points below the state. Math was below district results in all three grades, by 8 to 14 points. These grade-level differences show why a single overall score would not capture Bayview’s mix of strengths and weaker results.
Over time, Bayview’s ELA average rose by 1 point from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while the state average fell by 2 points; Bayview’s advantage widened from 6 to 9 points.

Science improved by 1 point, but remained below the state.
