Summary:

There are 15 elementary schools in ZIP code 92336, mostly serving kindergarten through grade 5; North Tamarind Elementary and Locust Elementary also serve grade 6. In 2025–2026, the schools’ average proficiency was 46% in ELA, 37% in math and 30% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The biggest takeaway is the sharp difference between schools: the top-to-bottom spread is 51 points in ELA, 57 in math and 56 in science.

Falcon Ridge Elementary is the clearest standout, leading all three subjects with 73% proficiency in ELA, 66% in math and 63% in science. Its results are 29, 31 and 35 points above the average for the other schools, respectively. At the low end, North Tamarind has the group’s lowest ELA and math results, at 23% and 9%; Locust has the lowest science result, at 6%. Grade 5 results reinforce the concern: North Tamarind scored 27% in ELA, 11% in math and 14% in science, while Locust scored 28%, 2% and 6%. Other strong performers include East Heritage Elementary, Cecilia Lucero Solorio Elementary and Nancy R. Kordyak Elementary; East Heritage is second in ELA and math, while Cecilia Lucero Solorio is second in science.

From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the group average improved by 2 points in ELA and was essentially unchanged in math and science; state results rose by 1 point in math and 3 in science, so the science gap widened. Individual changes varied: Juniper Elementary gained 9 points in ELA and 7 in math, while Locust’s science result fell by 28 points. SchoolDigger’s longer-term rankings improved most for Kathy Binks Elementary and Mango Elementary, each up 12 percentile points. Context also differs: 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures range from 27% at Falcon Ridge to 88% at North Tamarind, while student-teacher ratios range from 19.4:1 at North Tamarind to 24.3:1 at East Heritage. These measures do not neatly match results: Dorothy Grant Innovations Academy, with 69% free/reduced lunch eligible, exceeds the state in all three subjects, and Kathy Binks, at 78%, exceeds it in ELA and science.
