Elementary schools are scored on their own scale — never ranked against other levels.
The elementary years
The elementary schools average 78.7/100 — 39.8 points above the state average, with 7 of 7 in the Strong band.
7 elementary schools span 17 points around an average of 78.7.
Covington Elementary (87/100) holds the Strong band — 75.9% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 63.3%. 1 school classifies as Strong All-Around — no weak dimension we measure.
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
Scores here cluster within 17 points, so the address decides less than it does in most districts. Covington Elementary tops the list at 87/100 — 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.
