Summary:
ZIP code 91914 has five schools: three K–6 elementary schools, one middle school serving grades 7–8, and one K–12 alternative school. In 2025–2026, all-grades proficiency at the four district schools was above state results in each subject, while Pacific Springs Charter was below the state in all three. The clearest overall finding is that Pacific Springs is a distinct all-grades proficiency outlier, even though the other four schools exceed state results.
Salt Creek Elementary leads in all-grades ELA and science, with 70% and 68% proficient; Liberty Elementary leads in math at 65%. At the other end, Pacific Springs Charter scored 46% in ELA, 28% in math, and 34% in science—at least 15.24 percentage points below the next-lowest school in each subject. The five-school averages were 62% in ELA, 52% in math, and 50% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%. Pacific’s eighth-grade ELA score is a notable exception: 72%, versus 63% at Eastlake Middle and 49% statewide.
Across the five schools, average science proficiency rose 9 percentage points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while ELA and math each fell by about 1 point; statewide, all three subjects improved. The group’s advantage over the state widened by 5 points in science but narrowed by 2 points in both ELA and math. SchoolDigger places the four ranked schools between the 77th and 87th statewide percentiles: Salt Creek 87th, Liberty 84th, Eastlake 82nd, and Marshall (Thurgood) Elementary 77th. Among the elementary schools, student–teacher ratios range from 20.8 at Liberty to 24.5 at Salt Creek; their free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 21%–38% in 2024–2025. These are contextual differences, not explanations for scores. Because schools serve different grade spans, families may find grade-specific results more useful than all-grades comparisons.
