Summary

Pivot Charter School - San Diego II is an alternative K–12 school in San Marcos, California, serving 90 students. In 2025–2026, 43% of students were proficient in English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA), 20% in math, and 31% in science; statewide, the results were 49%, 38%, and 36%, respectively. The clearest concern is math, especially in 11th grade, where proficiency was 7% compared with 32% statewide.

Compared with nearby schools, ELA was the school’s weakest relative showing: its 42.6% result was below all four nearby schools with results, including Vista Springs Charter at 55%, Dimensions Collaborative at 42.9%, Altus Schools Coastal at 57%, and JCS - Cedar Cove at 51%. In math, the school ranked second-lowest among those five, with 20% proficiency—above Altus at 16%, but below Dimensions at 30%, Vista Springs at 31%, and JCS at 45%. Science was a relative bright spot locally: 31% was above Vista Springs at 29% and Altus at 23%, but below Dimensions at 34%. No comparable district test results are provided.

Results have improved over time, though math remains a concern: ELA proficiency rose from 26% in 2022–2023 to 43% in 2025–2026, while math rose from 10% to 20%. The ELA gap with the state narrowed from 20 points to 7 points; the math gap narrowed from 25 points to 19. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 32% to 22%, but remained 3 points above the state rate in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger provides no schoolwide rank or star rating. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 10.6, second-lowest among the 11 nearby schools, compared with 7.6 at North Coastal Consortium Schools and an average of 19 at the other nearby schools. In 2024–2025, 44% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, near the middle of the nearby group.
