Summary:
ZIP code 93726 includes 13 schools: eight elementary, two middle, two high, and one alternative school, with enrollment ranging from 50 to 3,065 students. In 2025–2026, the 10 schools with scores averaged 41% in ELA, 32% in math, and 23% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%. Three schools have no 2025–2026 scores in this dataset. The most important finding is that results vary sharply from school to school, rather than showing one consistent pattern across the area.
Manchester Gate was the clear top performer, scoring 84% in ELA, 75% in math, and 72% in science—20, 38, and 25 percentage points ahead of the next-highest school in each subject. Erma Duncan Polytechnical High was next in ELA and science, at 64% and 46%, and had a 99.6% graduation rate. At the lower end, Vinland Elementary had the lowest ELA score at 27%, Thomas Elementary the lowest math score at 20%, and Viking Elementary the lowest science score at 4%. SchoolDigger also rated Manchester Gate five stars, at the 96th percentile, and Erma Duncan four stars, at the 75th percentile.
Average scores improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 across the same 10 schools: ELA rose from 37% to 41%, math from 28% to 32%, and science from 19% to 23%. The gaps between those averages and state results narrowed by 4 points in ELA, 3 in math, and less than 1 point in science, but individual schools did not all improve: Manchester Gate’s science score rose 13 points, while Viking Elementary’s fell 7. All 13 schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible for school year 2024–2025; reported shares ranged from 73% at Manchester Gate to 95% at Scandinavian Middle. Student-teacher ratios also varied, including 28.1 at Manchester Gate and 18.7 at Erma Duncan, so these figures provide context but do not by themselves explain school results.
