Summary:
ZIP code 92708 has 15 schools—eight elementary, three middle and four high schools—serving students from elementary through high school; the middle schools serve grades 6–8. Across the schools, unweighted proficiency averages are above California’s in ELA, math and science, by about 16, 20 and 15 percentage points, respectively. But results vary sharply: the gap between the highest and lowest school is 79 points in ELA, 82 in math and 66 in science. The clearest takeaway is that ZIP-code averages hide very large differences between individual schools.
Ethan B. Allen Elementary leads ELA and math, with 89% and 87% proficient—about 40 and 48 points above the state. Courreges (Roch) Elementary leads science at 76%, about 40 points above the state. At the other end, Valley Vista High has 11% ELA, 4% math and 11% science proficiency, trailing California by about 38, 34 and 25 points. Among middle schools, Fulton (Harry C.) Middle leads ELA and science at 84% and 76%; Masuda (Kazuo) Middle edges it in math, 78% to 77%. Fountain Valley High is a high-school standout, at 81% ELA, 61% math and 64% science.
From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, average school results were nearly unchanged in ELA and math and rose about 1 point in science, while state results rose faster; the schools’ average advantage narrowed by about 1 point in ELA and math and 3 points in science. Individual schools moved in different directions: Gisler (Robert) Elementary gained 11 points in science, while Cox (James H.) Elementary fell 16. SchoolDigger places Allen and Fulton in the 98th–99th statewide percentile and Valley Vista in the 15th. As context, free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025 range from 19% at Courreges to 92% at Los Amigos High; Allen is at 52% while leading ELA and math. These figures describe differences, not causes, and grade spans vary, so same-grade comparisons can be more useful than all-grades results.
