Summary:
92058 has nine listed schools: seven elementary schools, one middle school and the Oceanside Unified School District Adult Transition Program; eight schools reported test scores for 2025–2026. Across those eight, average proficiency was 46% in English, 36% in math and 32% in science, all below state averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. But the four K–8 schools averaged above state in all three subjects, while the three K–5 schools averaged below state. The most important takeaway is that ZIP-code averages conceal large differences between schools and grade spans.
Mary Fay Pendleton Elementary led in all three subjects, with 80% proficient in English, 66% in math and 62% in science—about 30, 28 and 26 percentage points above state. At the other end, Jefferson Middle had 25%, 13% and 16%, respectively, below state by about 24, 25 and 20 points; its results were also lowest among listed schools in grades 6–8 for English and math. Among K–8 schools, Santa Margarita Elementary outperformed Stuart Mesa Elementary by 4 points in English, 16 in math and 19 in science. Their enrollment, reported low-income measure and student–teacher ratios were similar.
From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the eight-school average improved by about 2 points in English and math, while science fell about 3 points; Laurel Elementary stood out with gains of 11, 9 and 2 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also rose for Laurel (22 percentile points since 2023–2024) and Mission Elementary (21), but fell for Stuart Mesa (9). All eight schools report free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025: they range from 55% at Mary Fay to 93% at Jefferson. These figures are context, not an explanation for test results. The Adult Transition Program has no supplied test scores, and schools serve different grade spans.
