Summary:
ZIP code 92003 has one elementary school, Bonsall Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 5 and enrolling 949 students. Its 2025–2026 all-grades results were above California’s in all three subjects: 50% versus 49% in English language arts (ELA), 41% versus 38% in mathematics, and 37% versus 36% in science. The most important takeaway is that the school remains slightly above state results, but its advantages are now modest.
Within the school, fourth-grade ELA stands out most: 55% proficient, 10 percentage points above the state grade benchmark of 46%. Fifth-grade mathematics is the clearest concern, at 30% compared with 37% statewide, a 7-point deficit; third- and fourth-grade math were above their state benchmarks by 2 and 3 points. Relative to Bonsall Unified, the school was below the district in all three all-grades subjects: by 1 point in math, 2 in ELA, and 4 in science. With just one school in the ZIP code, there is no meaningful comparison of schools against one another.
Results and statewide rankings have moved in a less favorable direction. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, school proficiency fell by 3 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 2 in science, while the average state-relative advantage across the three subjects narrowed by 4 points—from about 6 points to about 2. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking shifted from 1,647 of 5,869 in 2023–2024 to 2,298 of 5,804 in 2025–2026, 651 places lower; its percentile fell from 72 to 60, and its rating went from 4 stars to 3. Other context includes a 24.1:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 45% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures describe the school, not the reasons for its results.
