Elementary schools are scored on their own scale — never ranked against other levels.
The elementary years
39 points separate Lincoln Elementary (48) from University Park Elementary (9) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
39 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 15 elementary schools — the average hides more than it tells.
1 of the 13 elementary schools with measurable cohort evidence rank as Growth Engines — returning cohorts gaining more, grade to grade, than at most schools statewide.
10 of 15 elementary schools sit in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.
What it means for your family
The 39-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 Lincoln Elementary at 48/100 — 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 — 4 campuses here rank as On the Rise (3) or Growth Engine (1), 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.
