Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
One school defines the top: Charles G. Emery Elementary sits 18 points clear of the field — the other 4 elementary schools are a different conversation.
42 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 5 elementary schools — the average hides more than it tells.
Charles G. Emery Elementary (64/100) holds the Strong band — 41.0% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 19.1%. 1 school here ranks as a Growth Engine — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.
42 points separate the top and bottom elementary schools — the district average won't predict the school in front of you.
The middle years
The narrowest gate on the path: Gordon H. Beatty Middle at 47, then a 22-point drop to the next of 2 middle schools.
2 middle schools span 22 points around an average of 35.6.
Gordon H. Beatty Middle is the strongest option at 47/100 — 28.5% of its students exceed the state standard.
1 of 2 middle schools sits in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Charles G. Emery Elementary at 64/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
No charters or magnets among the ranked schools here, so the main lever is an intra-district transfer — California districts run them on their own windows and criteria. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, ask the district office for this year's dates.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — 2 campuses here rank as Growth Engine (1) or On the Rise (1), their returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
