Summary:

The 10 schools in zip code 93247 serve students in six K–8 elementary schools, three high schools and one K–12 alternative school; their 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measures range from 79% to 93%. Across the eight schools with reported all-grades scores, average proficiency was 41% in ELA, 30% in math and 26% in science, compared with state averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding is that results vary sharply by school and grade, while science is the largest area of concern against state averages.

Among high schools, Lindsay Senior High was far ahead of John J. Cairns Continuation in 11th-grade proficiency: 63% versus 16% in ELA, 36% versus 0% in math, and 45% versus 8% in science—gaps of 47, 36 and 37 percentage points. Lindsay Senior was also above state in all three subjects; Cairns was well below. Among K–8 schools, Washington Elementary led in ELA and math, scoring 49% and 45%; it outpaced the other five K–8 schools’ averages by 9 and 14 points. Lincoln Elementary led K–8 science at 33%, 8 points above the other five schools’ average. At the lower end, Roosevelt Elementary had the lowest K–8 ELA and math results, 6 and 10 points below the other five schools’ averages; Reagan Elementary had the lowest science result, 8 points below the other five.

Across the eight schools with scores in both years, average results rose by 1 point in ELA, 3 in math and 7 in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, narrowing the gap with state by about 1, 2 and 3 points. That progress was not shared by every school: Jefferson Elementary improved in all three subjects, while Washington’s science score fell 6 points and Cairns’ ELA fell 8. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose 15 points for Lindsay Senior, 12 for Reagan and Lincoln, and 11 for Jefferson, but fell 11 for Kennedy Elementary, 9 for Cairns and 5 for Roosevelt. The 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 92% at Reagan, 91% at Washington and 83% at Roosevelt; this is context, not an explanation for results. Ratios also offer no simple shortcut: Lincoln had 17.5 students per teacher, compared with 24.3 at Washington, which led K–8 ELA and math. Loma Vista Charter and Lindsay Community Day have suppressed schoolwide test scores, so they cannot be ranked from these figures.
