Summary:

Zip code 92081 has one listed school, Joli Ann Leichtag Elementary, a K–5 school in San Marcos Unified with 579 students. With no other listed schools, the clearest picture is how its results compare with district and state figures. Mathematics is its strongest result relative to both: 52% of students were proficient, 13 percentage points above the state and 4 points above the district.

The school is above the state in all three subjects, but its standing against the district varies. In 2025–26, ELA proficiency was 54%—5 points above the state but 4 below the district—while science was 40%, 4 points above the state and 3 below the district. Math was 52%, above both. Across grades 3–5, the strongest state comparisons were Grade 3 ELA, 12 points above the state, and Grade 5 math, 14 points above. The lowest all-grades result was science, although it still exceeded the state. Because only one school is listed, there is no school-to-school top or bottom comparison.

Results improved year over year in each subject, especially ELA and science: proficiency rose 11 percentage points in ELA, 2 in math, and 17 in science from 2024–25 to 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also rose from the 58th percentile and three stars in 2024–25 to the 70th percentile and four stars in 2025–26. Context figures include a 22.2 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25 and 69% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 16% in 2025–26, compared with 14% districtwide and 18% statewide. These figures describe the school but do not provide comparisons with other schools serving similar students.
