Summary:
The 92025 zip code area of Escondido, California is home to 12 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a clear divide in performance between the public charter schools, such as Classical Academy and Classical Academy High, and the traditional public schools in the Escondido Union and Escondido Union High districts.
The charter schools consistently outperform the district schools across various metrics, including statewide rankings, graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism.

The schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Juniper Elementary (91%) and Central Elementary (90.05%), also have the lowest test scores and graduation rates. This suggests that addressing socioeconomic disparities could be a key factor in improving educational outcomes for students in the 92025 zip code area.
