Summary:

Schools in zip code 92115 include 12 schools—eight elementary, one middle and three high—serving students from elementary through high school. Nine schools have 2025–2026 test results; the other three have results only for 2024–2025, so the comparisons below focus on the nine with current-year scores. The most important takeaway is that performance varies substantially from school to school, with gaps of about 40 points in ELA, 48 in math and 38 in science between the highest and lowest results.

Hardy Elementary leads the nine schools in all three subjects, with 64% proficient in ELA, 65% in math and 52% in science. It is ahead of the next-highest school, Language Academy, by 2 points in ELA, 14 in math and 3 in science. Ibarra Elementary is lowest in ELA and science, at 24% and 14%; Mann Middle is lowest in math, at 17%. SchoolDigger gives Hardy and Language Academy four stars, while Ibarra and Mann receive one star.

Across the nine schools, the average fell about 2 points in ELA and 3 in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while math rose about 1 point; the state improved in all three subjects, so the area’s average gap widened. Individual results varied: Crawford High gained 11 ELA points, while Ibarra Elementary gained 10 math points. Rolando Park Elementary was above the state in all three subjects, despite chronic absenteeism of 31% versus 18% statewide. The reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures are for 2024–2025: 54% at Hardy and 44% at Language Academy, compared with 98% at Ibarra and 94% at Mann; these figures provide context, not an explanation for test results.
