Summary:
The five high schools in ZIP code 91504 include three schools serving grades 6–12 and two serving grades 9–12. Across the five, the unweighted average proficiency rate is 58% in ELA, 35% in mathematics, and 34% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 37%, and 33%, respectively. ELA is the area’s clearest relative strength, while mathematics is the most consistent concern: only one of the five schools exceeds the state rate in that subject.
PUC Lakeview Charter High leads in all-grades ELA at 83%, while PUC Community Charter Mid and PUC Community Charter Early College High leads in mathematics at 43% and science at 47%. At the other end, PUC CALS Middle School and Early College High has the lowest ELA and mathematics rates, at 40% and 28%, while PUC Early College Academy for Leaders and Scholars (ECALS) has the lowest science rate, at 17%. The top-to-bottom gaps are 43 percentage points in ELA, 15 in mathematics, and 30 in science. Grade-level results add useful distinctions: Lakeview leads grade 11 ELA at 83%, while Community leads grade 12 science at 60%.
SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings moved in different directions: Lakeview gained 9 points from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, while CALS fell 35 points, from 80 to 45; these rankings are not test-score trends. Grade-specific exceptions also matter: PUC Triumph Charter Academy and PUC Triumph Charter High is above the state in all-grades ELA and science, but its grade 7 mathematics rate is 18%, 18 points below the state. Reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025 range from 87% at Community to 95% at CALS; Lakeview is at 90%. CALS has the lowest student-teacher ratio, 13.9, while Community has the highest, 20.3, despite leading in two subjects—context that does not by itself explain achievement.
