Elementary schools are scored on their own scale — never ranked against other levels.
The elementary years
The elementary schools sit at the state line (42.9 vs 38.9) — the 14-point school-to-school spread is where the choice lives.
3 elementary schools span 14 points around an average of 42.9.
Northlake Hills Elementary (50/100) holds the Strong band — 31.4% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 25.0%.
Only 3 campuses at this level — one school's year moves every number in this chapter.
What it means for your family
Scores here cluster within 14 points, so the address decides less than it does in most districts. Northlake Hills Elementary tops the list at 50/100 — still worth confirming the exact zone before you commit.
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 — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
