Elementary schools are scored on their own scale — never ranked against other levels.
The elementary years
One school defines the top: Creekside Charter sits 15 points clear of the field — the other 4 elementary schools are a different conversation.
31 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 5 elementary schools — the average hides more than it tells.
Creekside Charter (76/100) holds the Strong band — 59.9% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 39.3%. 1 school classifies as Strong All-Around — no weak dimension we measure.
31 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 31-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 Newcastle Elementary at 49/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
4 of the 5 ranked schools are charters — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
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.

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.
