Elementary schools are scored on their own scale — never ranked against other levels.
The elementary years
The elementary schools average 44.6/100 — 5.7 points above the state average, with 3 of 9 in the Strong band.
9 elementary schools span 24 points around an average of 44.6.
Hill Creek Elementary (54/100) holds the Strong band — 28.6% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 27.7%. 1 school here ranks as a Growth Engine — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.
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 24 points, so the address decides less than it does in most districts. Hill Creek Elementary tops the list at 54/100 — 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 — 2 campuses here rank as Growth Engine (1) or On the Rise (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.
