Chula Vista Elementary

Chula Vista Elementary serves students in 43 elementary schools, all covering grades K–6, in Chula Vista, California. In 2025–26, the schools’ average proficiency was 53% in English language arts, 43% in math and 38% in science—about 3, 5 and 2 percentage points above California results, respectively. But those averages hide large differences: the gap between the highest- and lowest-scoring schools was 44 points in ELA, 51 in math and 59 in science. The most important finding for families is that results vary far more from school to school than the area-wide averages suggest.

Parkview Elementary led in both ELA, at 72%, and math, at 74%; those results were 23 and 35 points above the state, respectively. Salt Creek Elementary led science at 68%, 32 points above the state. At the other end, Los Altos Elementary had the lowest ELA result, 29%, or 20 points below the state; Rohr Elementary was lowest in math at 23%, 15 points below; and Juarez-Lincoln Elementary was lowest in science at 9%, 27 points below. SchoolDigger also rated Parkview four stars and ranked it in the 89th percentile statewide; Los Altos received one star and ranked in the 25th percentile.

Recent results were mixed: across the 43 schools, average ELA and math proficiency fell by about 2 and 1 percentage points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while science rose by 2 points. Silver Wing Elementary gained 11 points in ELA and 12 in math, but its science result fell by 2 points. Differences between schools are not explained by the reported income measure alone: in 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 78% at Palomar Elementary and 72% at Loma Verde Elementary, yet Palomar scored higher in all three subjects. School size and ratios also don’t offer a simple guide: Los Altos had the lowest reported student–teacher ratio, 17.5, while Wolf Canyon Elementary had the highest, 25.1.
