Summary:
ZIP code 92113 has 13 schools serving elementary through high-school grades, including 10 elementary schools, one middle school, one high school and one alternative school; all are in San Diego Unified except King-Chavez Academy of Excellence, which is in its own district. In 2025–26, the 12 schools with current test results averaged 24% proficiency in ELA, 18% in math and 13% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding is that average proficiency in all three subjects is substantially below the state level.
There are notable differences among schools, especially in science. Lincoln High led ELA at 30%—19 percentage points below the state—while Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary led math at 28%, 11 points below state. Mountain View led science at 28%, 8 points below state, and its eighth-grade math result of 40% was 4 points above the state result for that grade. At the lower end, Burbank Elementary had the lowest ELA result at 20%, Logan Memorial Educational Campus the lowest math at 12%, and Perkins K-8 the lowest science at 5%.
Recent changes were mixed: the group average fell 3 percentage points in ELA, rose 1 point in math and rose 3 points in science from 2024–25 to 2025–26. Rodriguez Elementary improved in all three subjects, by 11 points in ELA, 8 in math and 7 in science, while Mountain View’s ELA result fell 17 points. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 elementary-school statewide rankings ranged from the 3rd percentile for Porter Elementary to the 21st for Emerson. As context, reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares in 2024–25 ranged from 87% at Mountain View to 97% at Baker Elementary; these figures do not consistently align with subject results. Lincoln and Logan also had graduation rates of 92% and 93%, above the 88% state rate, while chronic absenteeism at both schools exceeded the state’s 18%. King-Chavez’s latest test results are from 2024–25, so it is not included in the 2025–26 comparisons.
