Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 92084 include 25 schools in Vista Unified: 15 elementary, four middle and six high schools, spanning elementary through high school. In 2025–26, school-average proficiency was below California’s rate for elementary and middle schools in all three subjects; high-school averages were close to the state in ELA but further behind in math and science. The averages are about 42% in elementary ELA, 37% in math and 30% in science; 41%, 30% and 30% in middle school; and 47%, 27% and 27% in high school. The most important takeaway is that results differ sharply from school to school, so the ZIP-code averages alone tell little about an individual school.

Mission Vista High is the clearest high-school standout, leading its group with 88% ELA, 52% math and 66% science proficiency—about 39, 14 and 31 points above state rates. In elementary school, Casita Center for Science/Math/Technology led ELA at 72% and science at 53%, while Empresa Elementary led math at 73%, about 34 points above the state. Among middle schools, Vista Innovation and Design Academy led ELA and science, while Vista Magnet Middle School of Technology Science and Math led math. At the lower end, Maryland Elementary had the lowest reported elementary ELA and math results, 20% and 13%; Foothill Oak Elementary had the lowest science result, 9%. Among high schools, Alta Vista High (Continuation) and Major General Raymond Murray High had very low proficiency and chronic absenteeism of about 88% each.

Recent score changes were mixed: the high-school average rose 6 points in ELA and 5 in math from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while science rose 2 points, less than the state’s 3-point increase. SchoolDigger rankings offer another, distinct comparison: Vista Visions Academy rose from the 20th to the 89th percentile statewide between 2023–24 and 2025–26, while Mission Vista ranked in the 95th percentile in both years. The reported low-income measure is free/reduced lunch eligible (FRL) for 2024–25; it does not neatly sort results. For example, Empresa and Casita had 41% and 42% FRL eligibility alongside standout results, while Mission Meadows Elementary, at 64%, still scored 42% in math, above the state’s 38%.
