Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 92274 include eight schools in Thermal: four elementary schools serving kindergarten through grade 6, one middle school, and three high schools, including a continuation school. Across the eight schools, the simple average of all-grades proficiency is 27% in English language arts (ELA), 14% in math and 12% in science, compared with state figures of 49%, 38% and 36%. The clearest overall finding is that every school’s all-grades math and science results are below the state figures.

Desert Mirage High stands out among the comprehensive high schools: its all-grades ELA result is 13 percentage points above Coachella Valley High’s, and its science result is 6 points higher; Coachella Valley leads in math by 1 point. Among the elementary schools, Westside Elementary leads in all-grades ELA, math and science, at 28%, 23% and 14%. At the other end, La Familia Continuation High has the lowest all-grades results: compared with the other seven schools’ averages, it is lower by 23 points in ELA, 14 in math and 9 in science. Its continuation-school setting is different from the comprehensive high schools.

Recent changes are mixed: the eight-school average rose 4 points in science and 1 in ELA from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while math was essentially unchanged; state math rose 1 point. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking for Desert Mirage improved from 31 to 44 over three years, while Westside’s fell from 31 to 22. Westside is the smallest school listed, with 349 students, yet leads its elementary peers; its student-teacher ratio is 19.2, compared with 15.7 at John Kelley Elementary. Westside reported 91% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with 97% at Oasis Elementary. La Familia reported 66% directly certified for free meals in 2024–2025 and is marked as likely to serve free meals to all students through Community Eligibility; these are different measures.
