Summary:
ZIP code 92129 has 12 schools serving elementary through high school: eight elementary schools, two middle schools and two high schools. In 2025–2026, every school’s all-grades proficiency was above the state figures of 49% in English language arts (ELA), 38% in math and 36% in science; school-level averages were 24–30 points above the state in ELA, 27–39 points above in math and 26–33 points above in science. The strongest overall takeaway is that results are favorable compared with the state, but vary substantially from school to school.
Adobe Bluffs Elementary led elementary schools in all three subjects, with 85% in ELA, 87% in math and 80% in science; Los Penasquitos Elementary was lowest, at 72%, 63% and 55%—gaps of 13, 24 and 25 points. At middle-school level, Mesa Verde Middle led Black Mountain Middle by 16 points in ELA, 21 in math and 12 in science. Westview High topped Mt. Carmel High by 14 points in ELA and 16 in math, though their science results were closer: 63% and 61%.
Recent changes were mixed, and school averages were nearly unchanged from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026; state improvement narrowed the average school-to-state gap by about 1 point in ELA, 1 in math and 3 in science. For example, Adobe Bluffs science rose 12 points, while Rolling Hills Elementary fell 15. Longer-term SchoolDigger rankings also moved in different directions: Adobe Bluffs improved from 215 to 55, while Los Penasquitos fell from 608 to 773. Income measures offer context, not an explanation: in school year 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible was 14% at Adobe Bluffs and 38% at Los Penasquitos. Attendance adds another point of comparison: chronic absenteeism was 2% at Adobe Bluffs and 11% at Los Penasquitos.
