Summary:

Zip code 91950 has 14 listed schools: 10 elementary schools, two middle schools, and two high schools. The clearest area-wide finding is that results vary substantially by subject and school: the 13-school averages trail the state by 12 percentage points in ELA, 11 in math, and 8 in science, while science results span 33 points.

Ira Harbison leads the elementary schools in ELA and math, with 46% and 38% proficient; its math result matches the state’s 38%. Rancho de la Nacion leads the supplied schools in science at 48%, 12 points above the state. At the lower end, John A. Otis Elementary has the lowest science result, 15%—21 points below the state. El Toyon Elementary has the lowest ELA result at 25%, 24 points below the state, while Sweetwater High has the lowest math result at 13%, 25 points below the state.

Compared with 2024–25, the 13-school average rose by 2 points in ELA and 7 in science, but fell by 1 point in math; the math gap to the state widened by 2 points. SchoolDigger percentile positions also moved in different directions: Ira Harbison rose from the 43rd to the 57th percentile, while Las Palmas went from the 30th to the 21st. As context, free/reduced lunch eligible figures for school year 2024–25 ranged from 76% at Granger Junior High to 91% at Central Elementary; these figures alone do not explain school results. Attendance also differs: Ira Harbison had 11% chronic absenteeism, compared with 29% at Lincoln Acres and 29% at Rancho de la Nacion.
