Summary:
ZIP code 92865 has four schools: three K–6 elementary schools and one K–12 alternative school; the supplied results cover only the elementary schools, so achievement cannot be compared for the alternative school. The three elementary schools’ latest results are from 2025–2026, and their unweighted average was near the state result in English language arts (ELA) but above it in math and science: 48% in ELA versus 49% statewide, 42% in math versus 38%, and 39% in science versus 36%. The most important finding is that those averages mask a pronounced gap between schools, especially Fletcher Mandarin Language & GATE Academy and the other two elementary schools.
Fletcher led all three subjects, with 64% proficiency in ELA, 61% in math, and 56% in science—15, 22, and 20 points above state results, respectively. Its scores were also 25 points higher in ELA, 28 in math, and 26 in science than the average of Taft Elementary and Olive Elementary. Olive was lowest in all three subjects: 39% in ELA, 29% in math, and 26% in science, respectively 11, 9, and 10 points below state results. Taft fell between them overall, though its fifth graders were above state results in ELA and math.
Recent changes were mixed: the three-school average fell 1 point in ELA and 1 in math from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while rising 6 points in science. Fletcher’s science score rose 11 points, and its SchoolDigger ranking was at the 82nd percentile with four stars in 2025–2026; Taft ranked at the 48th percentile with two stars, and Olive at the 40th percentile with two stars. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 49% at Fletcher, 89% at Taft, and 75% at Olive; student–teacher ratios were 21.6, 26.2, and 21.3, respectively. These are contextual differences, not explanations for school results: for example, Olive’s reported eligibility share was lower than Taft’s, yet Olive scored lower in all three subjects.
