Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 92004

Zip code 92004 contains one elementary school, Borrego Springs Elementary, serving grades K-5 in the remote community served by the Borrego Springs Unified district.

This school has shown remarkable improvement in recent years, jumping from a ranking in the 4th percentile of all California schools two years ago to the 30th percentile for the 2024-2025 school year, earning it a 2-star rating. While its test scores in English and Math are below the state average, they are notably higher than the district average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate, at 26.3%, is significantly better than the district's very high rate of 56.5%, though it remains above the state average.

Notably, the school operates with a high level of per-student funding, spending $21,676 per pupil, which is well above typical state averages. It serves a student population where over 82% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. A point of concern is a pattern where student proficiency, particularly in mathematics, appears to decline in the upper elementary grades, suggesting an area for continued focus alongside the school's impressive overall progress.
