Summary:

ZIP code 92844 has eight schools: six elementary schools, one intermediate school serving seventh and eighth grades, and one high school. Fifth-grade results offer a useful comparison across the elementary schools, while Donald S. Jordan Intermediate and Bolsa Grande High are the only schools of their levels in this list. The most important finding is that elementary performance varies widely: the group’s average is above the state in all three fifth-grade subjects, but that does not describe every school.

A. G. Cook Elementary is the clearest elementary standout, leading in fifth-grade ELA, math and science at 90%, 81% and 75%. Its scores exceed the other five schools’ averages by 31, 38 and 38 percentage points, respectively. At the other end, H.B. Anderson Elementary is lowest in all three subjects, with 33% in ELA, 23% in math and 21% in science; it trails the state by 16, 14 and 14 points. Merton E. Hill Elementary and John Murdy Elementary are also strong, exceeding state results in all three subjects. Jordan’s seventh- and eighth-grade ELA and math results are above state levels, as is its eighth-grade science. Bolsa Grande is above the state in eleventh-grade tested subjects, though its twelfth-grade science score is 8 points below.

Recent changes are mixed rather than consistently upward: across the elementary schools, average all-grade ELA rose by about 1 point from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while math fell by about 1 point and science rose by less than 1 point. The state’s science gain was larger, so the elementary schools’ average advantage narrowed by 3 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose for Iva Meairs Elementary, from the 43rd to the 55th percentile, while Cook stayed near the top, at the 97th to 96th percentile. Context measures do not form a simple performance pattern: 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures ranged from 65% at Cook to 89% at Meairs, and elementary student-teacher ratios ranged from 20.5 at Hill to 22.1 at Cook. Cook also had the lowest reported elementary chronic absenteeism, at 4%.
