Summary:
The area’s school list has one school, San Pasqual Union Elementary, a K–8 school with 548 students. With no other schools in the group, families can compare its results with California’s and with results across its own grades, rather than with local school peers. In 2025–2026, the school was above California in all three reported subjects: 70% versus 49% in English language arts (ELA), 55% versus 38% in math, and 44% versus 36% in science. Its largest advantage was in ELA, at 21 percentage points; the clearest overall takeaway is that the school outperformed the state in every subject.
Within the school, grade 3 math was especially strong: 82% met the standard, 35 percentage points above the state result for that grade. Grades 5 and 7 had the highest ELA results, at 75%; grade 7 was 24 points above the state. Results were less strong in grade 6 ELA, where 58% met the standard, and grade 6 math, where the school was just 1 point above the state. Grade 8 math was the clearest soft spot: 35.9% met the standard, about 0.4 points below the state’s 36.3%. These grade-level differences show why the all-grades results do not tell the whole story.
Results improved in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 6 points, math 5 points, and science 2 points. The school’s advantage over California widened by 6 points in ELA and 4 in math, but narrowed by 1 point in science. SchoolDigger’s ranking also rose, from the 66th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 73rd in 2024–2025 and the 82nd in 2025–2026; the latest listing gives the school four stars and a rank of 1,017 out of 5,804 schools. Chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide. For context, the school had a 19.8 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and reported 26% free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
