Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
The elementary schools average 19.8/100 — 19.0 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
All 2 elementary schools land within 7 points — the average is a fair summary here.
Riviera Elementary is the strongest option at 23/100 — 5.2% of its students exceed the state standard.
24.2% of students are chronically absent (state: 17.9%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
The middle years
One middle school: Mountain Vista Middle at 23/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.

What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Riviera Elementary at 23/100 — 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 — 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.
