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 57.7/100 — 18.8 points above the state average, with 8 of 9 in the Strong band.
34 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 9 elementary schools — the average hides more than it tells.
Lupin Hill Elementary (73/100) holds the Strong band — 46.8% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 37.5%. 2 schools here rank as Growth Engines — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.

What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Lupin Hill Elementary at 73/100 — 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 — 3 campuses here rank as Growth Engine, 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.
