Summary:

ZIP code 92123 has 9 schools: seven serve elementary grades only, Elevate and Innovations Academy serve K–8, and School for Entrepreneurship and Technology serves grades 9–12. In 2024–2025, the nine-school average was above the state in all three subjects: 56% in ELA versus 49%, 44% in math versus 37%, and 39% in science versus 33%. But school results varied widely, with ranges of 57 percentage points in ELA, 41 in math, and 40 in science. The most important finding is that this is an uneven group of schools, not one where a ZIP-code average describes every school’s results.

Leaders differ by subject. In 2024–2025, School for Entrepreneurship and Technology led ELA at 88%, 39 points above the state; Elevate led math at 66%, 29 points above the state; and Innovations Academy led science at 58%, 26 points above the state. School for Entrepreneurship and Technology was nearly tied in science at 57.7%. At the lower end, Juarez Elementary had the lowest ELA result at 31%, while Taft Middle had the lowest math and science results at 25% and 18%. Among the five K–5 schools with 2025–2026 results, Jones Elementary led ELA and math at 54% in each; Cubberley Elementary led science at 53%.

Recent changes were mixed, so families may want to compare subjects and grades rather than assume a school is improving across the board. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, results generally rose at Juarez Elementary, Jones Elementary, and Taft Middle; Cubberley Elementary fell 11 points in ELA and 10 in math but rose 7 in science. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking for School for Entrepreneurship and Technology rose 11 points over three years, while Elevate and Innovations Academy fell 7 and 9; these rankings are not test-score changes. All schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for school year 2024–2025, ranging from 23% at School for Entrepreneurship and Technology to 72% at Wegeforth Elementary. Results cover different grade spans, so grade-specific comparisons can be more useful when available.
