Summary:
ZIP code 93534 has one listed high school, Empower Generations, serving grades 9–12 with 81 students, so the local picture is of one school rather than a set of options. In 2024–25, its all-grades proficiency was 30% in English language arts (ELA), 9% in math, and 8% in science, compared with state figures of 49%, 37%, and 33%. The most important finding is that results were below state figures in all three subjects, with the largest shortfall in math at 29 percentage points.
Empower Generations is both the highest- and lowest-performing school in this list by default, since it is the only one; there is no meaningful school-to-school comparison. Its smallest state gap was in ELA, at 18 percentage points, followed by science at 25 points, while math had the largest gap. The simple average across the three subjects was 16% for the school and 40% statewide, a 24-point difference. The supplied 11th-grade results were also below state figures in each subject, although the largest gap for that grade was in ELA, at 27 points.
SchoolDigger’s ranking improved recently, but the longer trend is mixed: the school rose from the 12th percentile in 2023–24 to the 23rd percentile in 2024–25, a gain of 11 percentile points, while its 2024–25 position remained 2 points below its 25th-percentile standing in 2022–23. Its 2024–25 SchoolDigger rating was one star. The ranking change does not show that test scores improved. Other context includes a 36.4:1 student-teacher ratio and 85% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. Scores are available for only one year, and the school and state attendance figures come from different years, so neither score trends nor like-for-like attendance comparisons can be established.
