Summary:
ZIP code 92113 has 10 elementary-level schools with varied grade spans; nine have 2025–2026 results and are in San Diego Unified, while King-Chavez Academy of Excellence has results only for 2024–2025. Across the nine current-year schools, average proficiency was 24% in ELA, 19% in math and 13% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding is that every school’s current all-grades result is below the state benchmark in all three subjects.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary stands out in ELA and math, with 28% proficiency in each; Mountain View leads science at 28%. At the other end, Burbank Elementary has the lowest ELA result at 20%, Porter Elementary the lowest math result at 13%, and Perkins K-8 the lowest science result at 5%. The high-to-low spreads are 9 points in ELA, 15 in math and 23 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Emerson highest among these schools, at the 21st statewide percentile, and Porter lowest, at the 3rd.
From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the group’s average ELA result fell 3 percentage points, while math rose 1 point and science rose 3; the gap with state results nevertheless widened in all three subjects. School trends vary: Rodriguez Elementary gained 11 points in ELA, while Mountain View’s ELA result fell 17 points even as its science result rose 9. As context, schools reported 87%–97% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and student–teacher ratios ranged from 18.2 at Mountain View to 25.4 at Rodriguez; these measures do not follow a consistent pattern with results. Grade-level leaders can also differ from all-grades leaders, so families may find a school’s results for their child’s grade more useful. The current-year comparisons exclude King-Chavez, and school grade spans differ.
