Summary:

The 89403 zip code area is home to three elementary schools - Dayton Elementary School, Riverview Elementary School, and Sutro Elementary School - all serving students in the Lyon School District. These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients.

Among the three schools, Dayton Elementary School stands out with the highest overall test scores, with 34.5% of students proficient or better in SBAC Reading and 22.6% in SBAC Math. Riverview Elementary School has the strongest 3rd grade test scores, with 46.6% proficient or better in SBAC Math and 38.3% in SBAC Reading. In contrast, Sutro Elementary School has the lowest overall test scores, with only 20.9% proficient or better in SBAC Math and 25.8% in SBAC Reading across all grades.

Despite the variation in academic performance, the schools share similar challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates around 26.6% and relatively high spending per student ranging from $10,979 to $12,119. These findings suggest the need for a deeper examination of the factors contributing to the schools' performance and the effective allocation of resources to support student learning.
