Summary:

ZIP code 93103 has three K–6 elementary schools: Franklin Elementary, Adelante Charter and Cleveland Elementary. The clearest recent difference is between Franklin and Cleveland: in 2025–2026, Franklin scored higher in all three tested subjects, by 25 percentage points in English language arts (ELA), 19 points in math and 15 points in science. Franklin was above the state in ELA and math, while Cleveland was below the state in every subject. The most important finding is that these schools have sharply different reported academic results.

Franklin stands out in the latest results, with 54% proficient in ELA, 50% in math and 19% in science; those ELA and math scores were 5 and 11 points above state results, while science was 17 points below. In 2024–2025, Adelante led the three schools in ELA (52%) and math (58%), exceeding state results by 4 and 20 points; its 27% in science was the highest among the schools but 6 points below the state. Cleveland had the lowest all-grades scores among the three in every subject in both years with results. In 2025–2026, it scored 29% in ELA, 31% in math and 4% in science.

Results changed unevenly from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: Franklin’s ELA rose 4 points, while its math fell 2 and science fell 1; Cleveland’s ELA fell 7 points, math rose 1 and science fell 7.
