Summary:
ZIP code 93202 has three schools serving different grade spans: Armona Elementary (K–4), Parkview Middle (5–8), and Crossroads Charter Academy (K–12 alternative). Their enrollments are 571, 443, and 141 students, respectively. In 2025–26 All Grades results, the schools’ average proficiency was 38% in ELA and 21% in math, compared with 49% and 38% statewide. The clearest area-wide academic concern is math: the average school result was 17 percentage points below the state, versus an 11-point gap in ELA.
Armona Elementary leads the reported All Grades results, with 41% proficient in ELA and 36% in math; its math result is still 2 points below the state. Crossroads Charter Academy has the lowest All Grades math result, at 7%, while its grade-level ELA scores vary: 7th-grade proficiency is 50%, close to the state’s 51%. Parkview Middle stands out for attendance, with 9% chronic absenteeism, compared with 12% at Crossroads and 16% at Armona; all three are below the state rate of 18%. Crossroads also reports a 96% graduation rate, above the state’s 88%, and a 0% dropout rate.
Recent academic trends are mixed: the average ELA gap with the state narrowed from 14 percentage points in 2024–25 to 11 in 2025–26, while the math gap widened from 14 to 17. Parkview and Crossroads each improved their ELA proficiency by 6 points; Armona’s fell by 3. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Armona declined from 50 in 2023–24 to 45 in 2025–26, while Parkview’s rose from 21 to 28. In 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were similar across the schools, ranging from 83% to 85%; student-teacher ratios were also close, from 19.6 at Armona to 20.5 at Parkview. These figures provide context, but do not by themselves explain the schools’ differing results. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their All Grades results do not reflect the same mix of grades.
