Summary:
ZIP code 92549 has one listed school, Idyllwild, serving kindergarten through grade 8 with 268 students. The available information offers a profile of the school rather than a comparison of several local options. The clearest overall finding is that in 2025–2026, Idyllwild was above California’s proficiency rate in English language arts, math and science, with its biggest advantages in English and science.
Among its subjects, English language arts and science stand out, while math is a more mixed picture. In 2025–2026, 63% of Idyllwild students were proficient in English language arts, compared with 49% statewide—a 14-point advantage. Science proficiency was 48% versus 36%, a 12-point advantage; math was 42% versus 38%, a 3-point advantage. Grade results reveal an important exception: fifth-grade math proficiency was just 12%, 25 points below the state rate, while sixth-grade math was 58%, 21 points above it. Fifth-grade science was also below the state rate, at 23% versus 35%, while eighth-grade science was 69% versus 35% statewide.
Idyllwild’s advantage over the state grew in English language arts and science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, by 6 and 3 points, respectively, but narrowed by 1 point in math. SchoolDigger gave the school 3 stars in each of the three reported years; its ranking moved from the 64th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 67th in 2024–2025, then the 65th in 2025–2026. Other context includes a student-teacher ratio of 17.2 in 2024–2025 and 72% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2025–2026, compared with 28% in Hemet Unified and 18% statewide. Because only one school is listed, school-to-school comparisons are not available.
