Best High Schools in Zip Code 92056

ZIP code 92056 has one listed high school, SIATech, serving grades 10–12 and enrolling 1,174 students. It reports a 22% graduation rate and 76% dropout rate for 2023–24, along with 46% chronic absenteeism for 2024–25; the supplied statewide figures—88% graduation, 8% dropout, and 18% chronic absenteeism—are from 2025–26, so they are not same-year comparisons. The most important academic finding is that SIATech’s results are below California’s in all three reported grade-matched subject comparisons.

There is no meaningful local top-or-bottom comparison because SIATech is the only school listed; it is both by default. Within the school, grade 11 ELA is the strongest result and grade 11 math the weakest. ELA is 25% compared with 57% statewide, a 32-point gap; math is 2% versus 31%, a 28-point gap; and grade 12 science is 20% versus 28%, an 8-point gap. Across the three comparisons, the equal-weight averages are 16% for SIATech and 38% for California, a 23-point difference. Science is closest to the state benchmark, even though ELA is SIATech’s highest score.

SchoolDigger rates SIATech at 1 star and the 20th percentile for 2024–25, ranking it 1,723 out of 2,162 schools. Its percentile was 23 in 2022–23, then 20 in both 2023–24 and 2024–25—a 3-point decline followed by no change; these ranking figures do not establish a test-score trend. The student-teacher ratio is 26.4, and 93% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. These figures provide context, not an explanation for the school’s results. Because this is the only listed school, the data cannot show how it compares with other high schools in the ZIP code.
