Summary:

Schools in zip code 93740 include one public high school, University High, serving grades 9–12 with 498 students. In 2024–2025, its all-grades proficiency was 98% in English language arts, 76% in math, and 87% in science. It outperformed California in all three subjects, with advantages of 49 percentage points in ELA, 39 in math, and 54 in science; science was its largest lead over the state.

University High is the area’s only listed school, so it is the local top school by default and there is no local school to identify as trailing. SchoolDigger ranked it 11th of 2,162 California schools in 2024–2025, in the 99th percentile. ELA was its highest proficiency score, but science had the largest state-relative advantage; in 11th grade, its gaps over the state were 41 points in ELA, 45 in math, and 52 in science. The reported school proficiency figures are identical for all grades and 11th grade, so the data do not show separate results for grades 9, 10, and 12.

SchoolDigger’s ranking moved from 9th in 2022–2023 to 4th in 2023–2024 and 11th in 2024–2025, while its percentile shifted from the 100th to the 99th; these rankings do not establish a change in test performance. Other context includes a 24.8:1 student-teacher ratio and 21% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. The school reported a 98% graduation rate and 2% dropout rate in 2023–2024, plus 2% chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025; the supplied state figures for these measures are from 2025–2026, so they are not same-year comparisons. With just one school and one year of proficiency results, the list cannot show local school-to-school differences or achievement trends.
