Summary:

Elementary schools in ZIP code 91950 include 11 schools serving 4,357 students: ten serve kindergarten through sixth grade, and Integrity Charter serves kindergarten through eighth grade. In 2025–2026, the ten K–6 schools averaged 36% proficiency in English language arts (ELA), 28% in math, and 28% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The biggest takeaway is that results vary widely between schools, and the group’s average is below the state in every subject.

Ira Harbison led in ELA at 46% and math at 38%, matching the state math rate; Rancho de la Nacion led in science at 48%, 12 percentage points above the state. At the lower end, El Toyon Elementary had the lowest ELA result at 25%, Lincoln Acres the lowest math result at 20%, and John A. Otis Elementary the lowest science result at 15%—21 points below the state. Science is closest to the state on average, but also the most uneven: the gap between Rancho de la Nacion and John A. Otis is 33 points.

Across the same ten schools, average proficiency rose by 1 point in ELA and 7 points in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while math was nearly unchanged; math also lost ground relative to the state. Individual results differed: John A. Otis fell in all three subjects, while Palmer Way, Rancho de la Nacion, and Ira Harbison made especially large science gains. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide rankings placed Ira Harbison at the 57th percentile and Rancho de la Nacion at the 56th; Las Palmas and John A. Otis were each at the 21st percentile. The reported measure is free/reduced lunch eligible (FRL), 2024–2025: rates ranged from 77% at Ira Harbison to 91% at Central Elementary, while Rancho de la Nacion was at 89%. Ira Harbison’s student–teacher ratio was 23.1 and Rancho de la Nacion’s was 23.6, compared with 18.8 at Integrity Charter; these figures offer context, not an explanation of school results. Integrity Charter has 2024–2025 results only and is not included in the current-year comparisons.
