Summary:
ZIP code 93726 has two public high schools, both serving grades 9–12: Crescent View West Public Charter and Erma Duncan Polytechnical High. In the latest year with results for both, 2024–2025, their performance differed substantially, especially in mathematics. The most important finding for families is that Erma led in all three tested subjects, while Crescent View’s mathematics proficiency was especially low.
Erma Duncan Polytechnical High stands out as the stronger academic performer: in 2024–2025, 58% of students were proficient in English language arts, 25% in mathematics, and 35% in science. Those scores led Crescent View West Public Charter by 22, 19, and 8 percentage points, respectively. Erma was also above the state in English language arts and science, by 9 and 2 points, though 12 points below in mathematics. Crescent View scored 36% in English language arts, 6% in mathematics, and 27% in science—below state results in all three, with its largest shortfall, 32 points, in mathematics.
Erma’s scores improved in 2025–2026, rising 6 points in English language arts, 12 in mathematics, and 11 in science; it then exceeded state results in English language arts and science and came within 2 points in mathematics. SchoolDigger’s reported ranking for Erma rose from the 62nd to the 75th percentile across its listed years, while Crescent View’s went from the 32nd to the 28th percentile. In 2024–2025, Erma also had a lower student–teacher ratio (18.7 versus 27) and fewer students (1,186 versus 1,703). Both schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025: 87% at Erma and 90% at Crescent View. Erma’s 2025–2026 graduation and attendance indicators were favorable against state figures, while Crescent View’s reported rates are from earlier years. Because the schools’ results and measures are not all from the same years, those older figures are not a like-for-like comparison.
