Schools in Zip Code 92103

ZIP code 92103 has six schools: four elementary schools, one middle school and one alternative school, with five reporting test results and four providing current 2025–2026 scores. Across those four schools, average proficiency was above the state in ELA, math and science, but school results vary widely; the strongest-to-weakest gap is 30 percentage points in ELA, 52 in math and 26 in science. The most important takeaway is that schools here differ substantially, especially in math, so area-wide averages can hide large differences between schools.

Birney Elementary and Grant K-8 stand out at the top: Birney leads in math at 72% and science at 66%, while the two are effectively tied in ELA at about 69%. Both are well above state results in all three subjects. At the other end, Florence Elementary has the lowest ELA and math results, at 39% and 20%; those are 10 and 18 percentage points below the state. Roosevelt International Middle has the lowest science result, 40%, but still exceeds the state by 4 points. SchoolDigger rates Grant at the 90th percentile with 5 stars and Birney at the 89th percentile with 4 stars.

Recent changes offer another point of comparison: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Roosevelt improved in all three subjects, while Florence fell 14 points in ELA and 15 in math; Birney’s science result dropped 15 points, while Grant’s rose 8. Across the same four schools, average ELA and math results declined, and science rose slightly, so their advantage over the state narrowed in every subject. As context, all six schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025, ranging from 29% at Grant to 77% at Home & Hosp/Transition Support; Florence also had 35% chronic absenteeism, compared with 18% statewide. These figures describe differences, not what caused them. Museum has results only for 2024–2025, and Home & Hosp/Transition Support has no test scores in the supplied data.
