Summary:

ZIP code 92683 has 18 schools—13 elementary, three middle and two high schools—with results that differ considerably by school and subject. The schools’ average 2025–2026 all-grades results were above state averages in ELA (57% versus 49%), math (47% versus 38%) and science (39% versus 36%). The clearest concern is elementary science: elementary schools averaged about the state rate, while some schools were far above or below it.

Sarah McGarvin Intermediate leads its middle-school group in all three subjects, with 80% in ELA, 75% in math and 66% in science—about 31, 37 and 30 percentage points above state rates. La Quinta High leads high schools in all three, scoring 83% in ELA, 70% in math and 60% in science. Among elementary schools, Star View Elementary leads in ELA and math (73% and 74%), while Susan B. Anthony Elementary leads science at 65%. At the lower end, L.P. Webber Elementary has the lowest elementary math and science results (30% and 14%); Dr. Russell I. Johnson Middle is lowest among middle schools in all three subjects, at 44% ELA, 30% math and 26% science.

Recent movement is mixed: the average school ELA result rose about 1 percentage point from 2024–2025, while math fell about 2 points and science rose about 3. Science gains were especially large at Sequoia Academy Gate Magnet Elementary (24 points) and Anthony (20 points), while Webber fell 16 points. SchoolDigger places McGarvin at the 96th statewide percentile and La Quinta at the 95th. The income measure supplied is free/reduced lunch eligible, school year 2024–2025: McGarvin is at 73%, La Quinta at 76% and Westminster High at 86%, so this context does not by itself distinguish school results. McGarvin has a 26.3 student-teacher ratio, compared with Johnson’s 18.0, despite their contrasting scores. Grade spans differ, and one year of changes does not establish a long-term trend.
