Summary

Eastlake High is a 2,557-student high school in Chula Vista, serving grades 9–12 in the Sweetwater Union High district. Its latest reported results are strong across English, math, and science, and it stands out among nearby comprehensive high schools for leading all three subjects—most decisively in science.

In 2025–2026, Eastlake had 82% proficiency in English language arts, 56% in math, and 72% in science. The next-highest nearby results were 76% in English at Otay Ranch Senior High, 55% in math at Olympian High, and 50% in science at Bonita Vista Senior High—leads of 7, 2, and 22 percentage points, respectively. Eastlake also exceeds state results by 33 points in English, 18 in math, and 36 in science, and district results by 30, 24, and 36 points. Math is its narrowest local lead. One important caution within the strong overall science results: 11th-grade science proficiency was 73%, but the reported 12th-grade result was 17%, 16 points below the state.

Results have improved since 2022–2023, particularly in science: English rose 4 percentage points, math 10, and science 30. Eastlake’s advantage over state results also widened in each subject, with the science gap growing by 24 points. SchoolDigger places Eastlake at the 95th percentile statewide and gives it five stars for 2025–2026; its percentile rose from 89 to 95 over three years. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for how well the school serves Asian students rose from the 65th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 99th in 2025–2026, a notable increase compared with the school’s overall six-point rise. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 23.9:1, higher than most nearby district high schools, while 23% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the lowest share among the nearby comprehensive district schools in the comparison. These figures provide context but do not explain why results differ.
