Elementary schools are scored on their own scale — never ranked against other levels.
The elementary years
35 points separate Foothill Elementary (67) from El Camino Elementary (32) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
35 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 9 elementary schools — the average hides more than it tells.
Foothill Elementary (67/100) holds the Strong band — 48.5% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 33.5%. 2 schools here meet the stronger cohort-gains threshold. These aggregate comparisons do not track individual children.
35 points separate the top and bottom elementary schools — the district average won't predict the school in front of you.
What it means for your family
The 35-point spread means the district average is nearly meaningless for an address decision — the zoned elementary school is the whole decision. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Foothill Elementary at 67/100 — 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, their aggregate cohort-change indices above the published threshold. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
