Summary:

Five high schools in zip code 92505, all in Alvord Unified, serve grades 9–12. Enrollment ranges from 90 students at Mission View High to 1,804 at La Sierra High. In 2025–2026, the schools averaged 37% proficient in English, 11% in math and 19% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important shared concern is math: no school reached the state result, and even the area leader was 12 points below it.

Hillcrest High led in all three subjects, with 56% proficient in English, 26% in math and 41% in science. It was ahead of the next-highest school by 5 points in English, 11 in math and 13 in science; its English and science results were also above the state, while its math result was below. Norte Vista High was near the state in English at 50%, but had 15% in math. At the bottom, Mission View had 8% in English and 0% in math and science; Alvord High tied it at 0% in math. Alvord was stronger than Mission View in English by 11 points and in science by 2.

From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the five-school average rose 3 points in science, edged down by less than a point in English and rose by less than a point in math; the state also gained in science, so the area did not clearly close its gaps. SchoolDigger rankings from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026 fell from the 67th to the 63rd percentile for Hillcrest and the 47th to the 41st for Norte Vista; Alvord remained at the 7th percentile, while Mission View fell from the 7th to the 2nd. The two smallest schools have lower student-teacher ratios, 13.8–13.9, than the larger schools, 20.7–23.8, but that does not correspond to stronger test results in this snapshot. Their 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 95% at Alvord and 97% at Mission View, compared with 76% at Hillcrest. Small enrollments at Alvord and Mission View make their school-level results worth viewing with care.
