Summary:

ZIP code 92111 has nine elementary schools: six serve K–5, while the others extend through grade 6 or grade 8. Six schools have 2025–26 results, allowing a same-year comparison among the K–5 schools; the three charter schools’ latest results are from 2024–25. The clearest takeaway is how much results vary from school to school within the ZIP code.

Among the six K–5 schools, Holmes Elementary led in ELA, math and science in 2025–26, with 78%, 86% and 69% proficient, respectively. Linda Vista Elementary was lowest in all three, at 22%, 21% and 15%. Holmes’ results were 28 percentage points above the state in ELA, 47 points above in math and 33 points above in science; Linda Vista was below state results by 27, 18 and 21 points, respectively. The difference between the two schools was 56 points in ELA, 65 in math and 55 in science. Among schools with 2024–25 results, Kavod Charter stands out: its all-grades results—58% in ELA, 53% in math and 55% in science—were above state results in each subject.

Recent trends differ by school. Across the six K–5 schools, the average ELA result fell 3 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while math was nearly unchanged and science rose 1 point; the group’s relative position worsened in ELA and science, and its math advantage narrowed. Linda Vista improved in all three subjects, while Chesterton Elementary declined in all three. Context measures also do not neatly track scores: for 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible figures ranged from 24% at Holmes to 92% at Linda Vista; student-teacher ratios were 26.3 at Holmes and 18.7 at Clairemont Canyons Academy. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking percentile for Clairemont fell from 61 to 27 across the years shown, a ranking change rather than a test-score measure.
