Summary:

ZIP code 92506 has 15 schools: seven elementary, two middle, four high and two alternative schools, spanning elementary through high school and alternative programs. Results vary across subjects and grade groups: in 2025–2026, elementary schools averaged 45% in ELA, 39% in math and 31% in science, while middle schools averaged 43%, 30% and 26%, respectively. Compared with state results of 49% in ELA, 38% in math and 36% in science, the clearest area-wide pattern is that elementary math is near the state level, while middle-school averages are below state rates in all three subjects.

Castle View Elementary stands out among elementary schools, leading in all three subjects at 56% in ELA, 51% in math and 41% in science; those scores are 6, 12 and 5 points above state results. At the other end, Victoria Elementary has the lowest elementary ELA and science results, at 38% and 19%, while Central Middle is lower than the other middle school in all three subjects. Among high schools, Polytechnic High has the strongest reported ELA result at 69%, 20 points above the state, but its 29% math result is 9 points below.

Recent elementary-school changes are mixed: average math rose by about 1 point from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA was nearly unchanged, and science fell by about 1 point. Washington Elementary improved by 6 points in ELA, 9 in math and 14 in science; Alcott Elementary, by contrast, saw science fall by 10 points. SchoolDigger’s percentile rank rose from 33rd to 39th for Washington and from 68th to 72nd for Castle View. School context also differs: Castle View’s student-teacher ratio is 22.0, compared with 26.1 at Alcott. For 2024–2025, the free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 77% at Pachappa Elementary and 53% at Castle View; Pachappa’s math score was 44%, above the state rate. These measures are context, not explanations for scores. Alternative schools serve different settings, so their results are not direct comparisons with conventional schools.
