Summary:
ZIP code 92119 has four schools: three K–5 elementary schools and one grades 6–8 middle school, with no high schools. In 2025–2026, all four schools’ all-grades proficiency rates were above the state rate in ELA, math, and science, though results varied considerably from school to school. Math was the area’s clearest relative strength: the schools’ average was 29 percentage points above the state rate, compared with 20 points in ELA and 17 in science. The most important takeaway is that all four schools exceeded state rates overall, but families should look beyond that shared strength because school and grade-level results differ.
Green Elementary led in all three subjects, with 80% proficient in ELA, 81% in math, and 68% in science; Benchley/Weinberger Elementary ranked second, at 78%, 73%, and 57%. Green’s leads over Benchley/Weinberger were 2 points in ELA, 8 in math, and 11 in science. Gage Elementary had the lowest all-grades rates—55% in ELA, 58% in math, and 43% in science—while Pershing Middle fell between the elementary-school leaders and Gage. Gage’s all-grades results also hide a fourth-grade concern: its fourth-grade ELA proficiency was 41%, 5 points below the state rate.
Math proficiency rose at every school from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, by 1 to 5 percentage points. Science results were more uneven: Green rose 16 points, while Benchley/Weinberger fell 11. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings place Green at the 96th percentile, Benchley/Weinberger at the 91st, Pershing at the 85th, and Gage at the 73rd. Student–teacher ratios are similar, from 24.8 at Pershing to 26.2 at Green. For 2024–2025, each school reports the low-income measure free/reduced lunch eligible: 20% at Benchley/Weinberger, 32% at Green, 36% at Pershing, and 37% at Gage; these figures are context, not an explanation for results.
