Summary:

ZIP code 91790 has 10 schools—seven elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school—with nine reporting 2025–2026 results and San Jose Charter Academy reporting its latest results from 2024–2025. Across the nine current-year schools, average proficiency was 42% in English language arts (ELA), 36% in math and 32% in science, below state averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding is that results vary widely by school, even though the area’s average is below the state in all three subjects.

Rowland Avenue Elementary is the clearest current-year standout: it led all nine schools with 58% in ELA, 52% in math and 46% in science, respectively 8, 13 and 10 percentage points above the state. Monte Vista Elementary ranked second in all three subjects, with 51% in ELA, 51% in math and 43% in science. The lowest result depended on the subject: California Elementary had the lowest ELA rate at 32%, Edgewood High the lowest math rate at 25%, and Walnut Grove Intermediate the lowest science rate at 21%. In the separate 2024–2025 comparison, San Jose Charter Academy led all 10 schools, exceeding that year’s state results by 26 points in ELA, 26 in math and 19 in science.

Among the nine schools with results in both years, average proficiency fell by 2 points in ELA, 1 in math and 2 in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026; state averages were nearly flat in ELA and rose by 1 point in math and 3 in science. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings also declined for Cameron Elementary (53 to 33), California Elementary (49 to 31) and Orangewood Elementary (60 to 47); these rankings are not test-score percentages. All 10 schools report free/reduced lunch eligible (FRL) for 2024–2025: rates range from 76% at Rowland Avenue Elementary to 91% at California Elementary, while outcomes differ notably among schools with high rates. Student–teacher ratios also do not neatly track results: Rowland Avenue Elementary has a ratio of 24.4 and the strongest current-year results, while the ratio is 16.3 at both Edgewood High and Walnut Grove Intermediate, each below the state in its current reported tests.
