Elementary schools are scored on their own scale — never ranked against other levels.

The elementary years

The elementary schools sit at the state line (38.8 vs 38.9) — the 19-point school-to-school spread is where the choice lives.

0100
Strong Solid Developing Needs Support district avg state avg

5 elementary schools span 19 points around an average of 38.8.

The strength

Lake Canyon Elementary (49/100) holds the Strong band — 23.7% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 19.9%. 1 school here ranks as a Growth Engine — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.

The catch

What these numbers can't see: class sizes, arts, teacher turnover, how a hallway feels at 8 a.m. Strong scores are the start of the question, not the answer.

What it means for your family

If you're choosing a neighborhood

Scores here cluster within 19 points, so the address decides less than it does in most districts. Lake Canyon Elementary tops the list at 49/100 — still worth confirming the exact zone before you commit.

If you already live here

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.

If your kid is enrolled now

A band is a position, not a prophecy — 1 campus here ranks as Growth Engine, its 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.

The strongest-scoring campus:

The top scorer district-wide — confirm enrollment zones with the district, and visit before you decide.

What this page can't see: whether a campus feels safe and glad at 8 a.m. If a path above looks workable, the next step is a visit.
