Elementary schools are scored on their own scale — never ranked against other levels.
The elementary years
26 points separate Bill Libbon Elementary (40) from Adam (William Laird) Elementary (14) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
17 elementary schools span 26 points around an average of 24.1.
3 of the 16 elementary schools with measurable cohort evidence meet the stronger cohort-gains threshold — aggregate cohort-change indices above the published threshold.
11 of 17 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 26-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 Bill Libbon Elementary at 40/100 — 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 aggregate cohort-change indices above the published threshold. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
