Pioneer Elementary is at the 28th percentile, Farmdale Elementary the 13th and Weaver Middle the 26th, each among the California schools we score at its level (spring 2026 tests). High school is run by another district; confirm the school for your address with the district.

Figures from CDE’s state test, chronic absence and suspension files. Test figures cover every grade the district tests (California tests grades 3–8 and 11), so they differ from a profile’s rated grades. We combined the district’s schools ourselves, weighted by students and leaving out charter schools. Chronically absent means a student missed 10% or more of school days.

We will do this by showing yearly improvement on the Dashboard in in following identified groups: (District- wide - *Foster Youth = Suspensions +12.7%) // (Pioneer Elementary - *EL Students = ELPI -17.4%, *Special Education Students = ELA -23.5%) // (Weaver Middle School - *EL Students = ELA -15.8%, Math -16.2% & Suspensions +16%- *Special Education Students = ELA -4.3% & Math -7.7% - *White Students = Suspensions +0.8%) For reference ELA, Math & ELPI are improved when you see "Increases", as that indicates students are getting closer to being proficient. In Suspensions a "Decrease" indicates an improvement as it shows a lower percentage of students are being suspended” p. 51 ↗
