Summary:

ZIP code 91911 has five high schools: Chula Vista Senior High, Castle Park Senior High and MAAC Community Charter serve grades 9–12, while Palomar High and Alta Vista Academy serve grades 7–12. Results differ sharply among schools, and the clearest area-wide concern is math: the mean of reported 2025–26 scores was 7%, compared with 38% statewide, a gap of 31 percentage points.

Castle Park leads the reported 2025–26 results, with 49% in ELA, 17% in math and 29% in science. Its ELA is essentially level with the 49% state rate, while its math and science results are 21 and 7 points below state, respectively. Chula Vista is next in ELA at 46% and leads the 12th-grade science comparison at 24%, ahead of Castle Park’s 17%; it remains 8 points below the state rate for that grade. Palomar has the weakest reported 2025–26 results among schools with scores in all three subjects: 12% in ELA, 0% in math and 7% in science. Alta Vista reports 0% in ELA and math, while its science result was suppressed. MAAC’s latest scores, from 2024–25, were 0% in ELA, 0% in math and 1% in science.

Across schools with results in both years, science improved most: the mean rose from 14% in 2024–25 to 20% in 2025–26, and the average gap to the state narrowed from 18 to 16 points. Math moved the other way, with the matched-school mean falling from 10% to 7%; ELA was nearly flat. SchoolDigger ranks Castle Park in the 45th percentile with 2 stars, Chula Vista in the 42nd percentile with 2 stars, and Palomar in the 13th percentile with 1 star. Graduation and attendance also distinguish the schools: graduation was 96% at Castle Park and 92% at Chula Vista, versus 68% at Palomar; chronic absenteeism was 82% at Palomar and 80% at Alta Vista. The free/reduced lunch eligible share in 2024–25 ranged from 57% at MAAC to 82% at Castle Park, while student–teacher ratios ranged from 3.7 at Alta Vista to 22.1 at Castle Park. These measures offer context, not a simple explanation for test results; MAAC has no 2025–26 scores.
