The data reveals significant performance disparities among these schools, with Christine Sipherd Elementary standing out as the highest-performing school in the district.
Christine Sipherd Elementary ranks 3610 out of 5862 California elementary schools, the highest in the district, and outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels.
