San Pasqual Valley High stands out in all-grades ELA, with 48% proficient, compared with 30% at Middle and 21% at Elementary; the state figure is 49%.

Manes, with 14 students, reported 91% chronic absenteeism, a 25% graduation rate, and a 44% dropout rate.

Scores improved at all three schools with reported results from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: their average rose about 7 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 2 in science. ELA and math gaps with the state narrowed, while the science gap widened.

Student–teacher ratios are 19.9 at Elementary, 12.3 at Middle, 11.8 at High, and 9.3 at Manes; a lower ratio does not correspond to stronger results in every subject.
