Best Public Schools in Zip Code 93219

Zip code 93219 in the Earlimart, California area is served by four public schools—three elementary schools and one middle school—enrolling over 1,500 students across two districts, with no high school located within the zip.

All schools in this area face significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 15% of California schools. Earlimart Middle is the highest-ranked locally but still falls in the bottom quartile statewide, while Allensworth Elementary ranks in the bottom 2%. Proficiency rates in English, math, and science are well below state averages at every school. There is a notable disparity between the two districts, with the Allensworth Elementary district ranking in the bottom 1% of the state compared to the Earlimart Elementary district in the 4th percentile.

When comparing schools, Earlimart Elementary stands out for having the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (10.3%), which is below the state average and correlates with its position as having the area's highest math proficiency. In contrast, mathematics is a critical concern at Earlimart Middle, where proficiency is just 6.17%. An interesting finding is that higher per-student spending, such as at Alila, does not necessarily translate to higher academic rankings compared to schools with lower spending, indicating other factors are at play in student outcomes.
