Summary:
Zip code 92582 has two San Jacinto Unified elementary schools in this comparison, and both serve kindergarten through grade 5. In 2025–2026, the schools’ average proficiency was 38% in ELA, 25% in math, and 27% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%. Both schools performed above district figures in all three subjects, but the most important overall finding is that neither reached the state average in any subject.
Megan Cope Elementary stands out as the stronger overall performer: it led De Anza Elementary by 3 percentage points in ELA, 7 in math, and 5 in science. The clearest concern is De Anza’s fifth-grade math result: 12% proficiency, 18 points below Megan Cope and 25 below the state. Megan Cope’s strongest relative grade-level result was fifth-grade ELA at 47%, just 2 points below the state’s 49%; De Anza scored 42%. There is a grade-four math exception: De Anza led Megan Cope by 2 points, though both schools were well below the state.
Science improved most recently, while ELA and math moved in the opposite direction: the two-school average rose 6 points in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, but fell 2 points in ELA and 3 in math. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking percentile was 38 for Megan Cope in 2025–2026, after 31 and 41 in the prior two years; De Anza’s was 27, following 35 and 35. As context, 2024–2025 student-teacher ratios were 22.9 at Megan Cope and 21.6 at De Anza; both reported free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025, at 87% and 88%, respectively. These measures are observations, not explanations for score differences. The comparison covers just these two schools, and test results are available for two school years.
