Summary:

The 20 schools in ZIP code 92106 include 7 elementary, 6 middle and 7 high schools, with results available for different subsets in 2025–2026. The area has strong performers, but strength varies sharply by school and subject: among current-reporting schools, elementary math ranges from 26% to 64%, while high-school math ranges from 22% to 55%. The most important takeaway is that a school’s overall level or strength in one subject does not guarantee similar results in another.

Several schools stand out in current results. High Technical High Mesa has the strongest balanced high-school profile, with 73% ELA, 55% math and 53% science; all are above state results. High Technical High North County leads high schools in ELA at 81%, 32 points above the state, but its 35% math is below the state’s 38%. For elementary schools, Loma Portal Elementary leads in ELA (51%) and math (64%), while High Technical Elementary North County is lowest in both (35% and 26%). Among grades 6–8 schools, High Technical Middle North County leads ELA (68%) and science (53%).

Recent trends differ by level: across three grades 6–8 schools with results in both years, averages rose 4 points in ELA, 4 in math and 14 in science; across four high schools, averages fell 6 points in ELA, 3 in math and 1 in science. Individual schools also shifted: High Technical Middle Mesa science rose 13 points, while High Technical High Mesa ELA fell 17 points. SchoolDigger gives High Technical High Mesa five stars and High Technical Elementary North County one star for 2025–2026. Low-income figures are school-reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–2025; for example, they are 30% at Loma Portal and 52% at High Technical Middle North County, useful context but not an explanation of results. Current-year test coverage varies among schools.
