Summary:

ZIP code 91913 has 12 schools: eight elementary schools and four schools classified as high schools, serving students from elementary grades through high school; East Hills Academy serves grades 7–12. Test scores are available for 11 schools. Overall, elementary-school averages were above the state in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, while the three high schools with scores averaged above the state in ELA and science but only slightly above in math. The most important takeaway is that results are generally stronger than state averages, but high-school math and elementary science show the biggest differences between schools.

Wolf Canyon Elementary led the elementary group in ELA and math, with 71% and 62% proficient—about 10 and 9 percentage points above the other elementary schools’ averages. Heritage Elementary topped elementary science at 63%, 16 points above the other schools’ average; Veterans Elementary was lowest at 32%, 20 points below that average and 4 below the state. Otay Ranch Senior High had the highest high-school ELA score, 76%, while Olympian High led math at 55%. Math is a sharper point of difference: Otay Ranch scored 37%, an 18-point gap from Olympian. Bonita Vista Senior High led high-school science at 50%.

Recent movement was mixed: elementary averages fell about 3 points in both ELA and math but rose 2 points in science, narrowing their leads over the state; high-school averages fell 2 points in ELA but rose 4 in math and 7 in science. SchoolDigger rankings offer another perspective: Tiffany Elementary rose from the 58th to the 65th percentile from 2023–24 to 2025–26 even as its latest scores fell in all three subjects. School context measures do not line up neatly with scores: in 2024–25, the reported measure was free/reduced lunch eligible, ranging from 31% at Wolf Canyon to 50% at Tiffany; student–teacher ratios ranged from 19.5 at EastLake Elementary to 25.1 at Wolf Canyon. East Hills has no test scores supplied, so its achievement cannot be compared with the others.
