Summary:
Zip code 93311 has 13 schools—9 elementary, 2 middle and 2 high—serving students from elementary through high school. In 2025–26, the unweighted school averages were 58% in ELA, 39% in math and 39% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. School averages are not weighted by enrollment, and all-grades comparisons are imperfect because schools serve different grade spans. The most important finding is how sharply results vary by school, especially in math, where the highest and lowest scores are 52 percentage points apart.
Highgate Elementary stands out, leading all 13 schools with 77% in ELA, 69% in math and 66% in science—about 4, 6 and 12 points ahead of the next-highest school in each subject. At the other end, Christa McAuliffe Elementary has the lowest ELA result at 39%, while Lakeside is lowest in math at 17% and science at 21%. Among high schools, Stockdale High leads Independence High in 11th grade by 6 points in ELA, 20 in math and 18 in science. For middle-school families, Earl Warren Junior High exceeds Tevis Junior High in both 7th- and 8th-grade ELA and math.
Across the 12 schools with results in both years, average gains from 2024–25 to 2025–26 were under 1 percentage point in each subject; statewide, gains were under 1 point in ELA, 1 in math and 3 in science. Sing Lum Elementary and Tevis rose in all three subjects, while Old River Elementary declined in all three. SchoolDigger rankings also differ: Highgate rose from the 83rd to the 91st percentile, while Old River fell from the 71st to the 53rd. As context, the schools report free/reduced lunch eligible measures for sy 2024–25: 45% at Highgate and 78% at Christa McAuliffe; their student-teacher ratios are 25.2 and 21.3, respectively. These figures describe school circumstances, not the cause of test results.
