Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 90302 include five schools—four elementary schools and one middle school—serving grades K–8, with no high school; three have 2025–2026 results, while all five have 2024–2025 results. The results show a sharp divide: in 2024–2025, the five-school averages were 55% in ELA, 39% in math and 35% in science, above state rates of 49%, 37% and 33%; but the three-school average in 2025–2026 was below state in every subject. The most important takeaway is that the strong results at the two Wilder schools do not reflect the weaker latest-year picture for the other three schools.

Wilder’s Preparatory Academy Charter and Wilder’s Preparatory Academy Charter Middle were the clear 2024–2025 standouts: both had 76% ELA proficiency, compared with 49% statewide. Wilder’s elementary school had 64% in math and 49% in science; its middle school had 55% in math and 60% in science. Those results were 17–27 percentage points above state rates, depending on school and subject. Among the three schools with 2025–2026 results, La Tijera Academy of Excellence Charter led in all subjects, with 50% ELA, 32% math and 33% science; only its ELA was above the state rate, by 1 point. Frank D. Parent was lowest in the trio, at 33% ELA, 21% math and 15% science—16, 17 and 21 points below state, respectively.

Across the three schools with back-to-back results, average ELA and math proficiency slipped from 41% to 40% and 26% to 25%, while science rose from 21% to 24%; the group remained below state in all three subjects in 2025–2026. Frank D. Parent has an important exception: its third graders scored 67% in ELA and 83% in math, above state rates of 44% and 47%, despite much lower all-grade results. SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 rank-history percentiles were 86 for Wilder’s elementary school and 88 for its middle school; La Tijera was at 46 in 2025–2026. Reported student-teacher ratios range from 20.3 to 52.2. All five schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025, ranging from 69% to 94%; these figures are context, not an explanation for test results.
