SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 93% of California elementary schools

Summary

Double Peak is a K–8 school in San Marcos, California, with 1,171 students, in the San Marcos Unified district. Its 2025–2026 results show strong performance across all three tested subjects: 75% proficiency in English language arts (ELA), 71% in math, and 55% in science. The most important finding is that results are well above state levels in every subject, with the largest advantage in math: 32 percentage points.

Compared with nearby schools, Double Peak ranks second of 10 in math, third in ELA, and fifth in science. Math is its clearest strength: it is 32 points above the state and 23 points above the district; its ELA results are 26 points above the state and 17 above the district. Science is also higher than the state by 19 points and the district by 12, but is less dominant nearby. For example, Discovery Elementary has 69% science proficiency, compared with Double Peak’s 55%.

Results have climbed over the four years shown: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, proficiency rose 7 percentage points in ELA, 6 in math, and 8 in science, while the school’s lead over the state widened in each subject. SchoolDigger ranks Double Peak 427 of 5,804 California schools, in the 93rd percentile, with 5 stars for 2025–2026; its overall percentile rose from 87 in 2021–2022. The 23.1 students-per-teacher ratio is near the middle of the nearby-school range. The school reported that 21% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the fourth-lowest share among 10 nearby schools reporting the same measure; this is context, not an explanation for results. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Asian students rose from the 56th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 91st in 2025–2026, a notable improvement in its measure of how well the school serves this group.
