Summary:
Zip code 92703 has 12 schools—10 elementary, one middle, and one alternative—with 2025–2026 test results for 10 schools and 2024–2025 results for the other two. Among the 10 with the latest scores, average proficiency was 30% in ELA, 24% in math, and 16% in science, compared with California averages of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The area’s average-school gaps were 19 percentage points in ELA, 14 in math, and 20 in science. The most important takeaway is that most schools were below the state in every subject, even though a few schools performed strongly.
R. F. Hazard Elementary led the latest results in ELA at 63% and math at 58%; both were about 12 and 20 points above the state, respectively. Rosita Elementary led science at 38%, about 2 points above the state, and placed second in ELA at 51% and math at 48%. Hazard’s ELA score was 12 points higher than Rosita’s, and its math score was 10 points higher; Rosita’s science result was 13 points above Hazard’s. At the lower end, Romero-Cruz Academy had the lowest ELA and science results, at 13% and 6%, while Pio Pico Elementary had the lowest math result, at 8%.
Across the same 10 schools, average ELA and science scores rose by about 1 point from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while math edged down by less than 1 point; state results rose in all three subjects, so the area did not catch up overall. Rosita improved in all subjects—7 points in ELA, 10 in math, and 12 in science—while Heroes Elementary gained 7 points in ELA but fell 8 in math and 10 in science. SchoolDigger rates Hazard at the 76th percentile with four stars and Rosita at the 66th percentile with three stars. For context, their free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 91% and 90%, respectively, in 2024–2025; Rosita’s student–teacher ratio was 25.2, compared with 17.4 at Romero-Cruz. These figures describe context, not what drives scores; two schools’ latest available results are from 2024–2025 rather than 2025–2026.
