Summary:
ZIP code 91350 has eight schools: five K–6 elementary schools and three high schools, including continuation school Bowman (Jereann) High. The 2025–26 results show the elementary schools generally above state proficiency levels, while the three high schools vary sharply. In 11th grade, the high-school average was below the state in ELA, math and science, but that average masks a wide split between schools. The most important takeaway is that high-school results differ substantially from one campus to another.
Saugus High leads the high schools, with 85% proficient in 11th-grade ELA, 48% in math and 59% in science; it exceeds the next-highest high school, Golden Valley High, by 23, 21 and 18 percentage points, respectively. Bowman is lowest among the three in every subject, at 21% in ELA, 0% in math and 9% in science. Among elementary schools, Emblem Academy leads ELA (75%) and math (70%), while Plum Canyon Elementary leads science (65%). All five elementary schools are above state results in ELA, math and grade-five science; Highlands Elementary has the lowest elementary science result, at 41%.
Across all eight schools, average proficiency rose from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by 1 point in ELA, less than a point in math and 2 points in science; state gains were larger in math and science. School-level changes vary: Plum Canyon improved in all three subjects, while Highlands’ science result fell 9 points. SchoolDigger ranks Saugus at the 91st percentile statewide and Bowman at the 17th; among elementary schools, Emblem is at the 91st percentile. School characteristics offer context, not an explanation: 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible shares range from 28% at Plum Canyon to 39% at Rosedell Elementary. Emblem leads ELA and math with a 26.1 student-teacher ratio, while Plum Canyon leads science with a ratio of 28.2.
