Best Public Schools in Zip Code 93402

Summary:

The 93402 zip code area in California is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Baywood Elementary and Monarch Grove Elementary) and 1 middle school (Los Osos Middle) - all part of the San Luis Coastal Unified district. Among these schools, Monarch Grove Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking 411 out of 5,862 California elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Monarch Grove Elementary excels academically, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, 76.19% of Monarch Grove students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 66.5% for the district and 47.04% statewide. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 23.3% in 2022-2023, compared to 22.5% at Baywood Elementary and 27.4% at Los Osos Middle.

While the schools in the 93402 zip code area generally perform better than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts, there is some variation in performance between the elementary schools and the middle school. Los Osos Middle lags behind Monarch Grove in Mathematics and Science proficiency, which could be an area for further investigation. Additionally, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates (over 35% at all 3 schools) indicate a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may require additional resources and support to ensure their academic success.
