Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
27 points separate Ada Clegg Elementary (55) from Anderson Elementary (28) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
13 elementary schools span 27 points around an average of 42.2.
Ada Clegg Elementary (55/100) holds the Strong band — 36.5% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 24.5%. 1 school here ranks as a Growth Engine — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.

3 middle schools span 18 points around an average of 48.0.

The suspension rate averages 5.3% against 3.6% statewide — worth a direct question on a visit.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Ada Clegg Elementary at 55/100 — 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 (2) 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.
