Summary:
Schools in 91911 include 21 schools: 14 elementary schools, one middle school, five high schools, and one alternative school, with grade spans ranging from elementary through high school. In 2025–2026, the elementary-school averages were below California’s in ELA (43% versus 49%), math (33% versus 38%), and science (30% versus 36%). But the area’s results vary widely from school to school, and Parkview Elementary is the clearest current standout, leading local elementary schools in all three subjects.
Parkview Elementary scored 72% in ELA, 74% in math, and 51% in science—23, 35, and 15 percentage points above California, respectively. Palomar Elementary also beat the state in all three subjects, with 54% ELA, 49% math, and 44% science; Cook (Hazel Goes) Elementary stood out in science at 49%, 13 points above the state. At the lower end, Harborside Elementary had the lowest ELA (35%) and science (17%), while Rogers (Greg) Elementary had the lowest math result (23%). Among three traditional high schools’ shared 11th-grade results, Castle Park Senior High led in ELA (49%) and math (17%), but remained below California in both.
Elementary results changed unevenly from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: school averages fell 2 points in ELA, were essentially unchanged in math, and rose 3 points in science, while California’s results rose in all three subjects. Parkview gained 8 points in both ELA and math, and Cook gained 17 points in science. SchoolDigger ranked Parkview in the 89th percentile and gave it four stars in 2025–2026. As context, the 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 45% at Parkview, 78% at Palomar Elementary, and 69% at Cook; these figures do not establish what drives school results. Chula Vista Learning Community Charter also had strong results, but its latest scores are from 2024–2025, so they are not a current-year comparison.
