Summary:
ZIP code 93905 has 15 schools serving kindergarten through grade 12: 12 elementary schools for grades K–6, two middle schools for grades 7–8, and one high school for grades 9–12. Together, they enroll 12,648 students, from 526 at Virginia Rocca Barton Elementary to 2,742 at Alisal High. Elementary averages were 31% proficient in ELA, 24% in math and 17% in science, compared with California’s 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important takeaway is that elementary results vary considerably—especially in math—and the ZIP code’s elementary averages trail state benchmarks in all three subjects.
Monte Bella Elementary led the elementary schools, with 41% proficient in ELA, 38% in math and 23% in science; Fremont Elementary was lowest, at 22%, 11% and 10%. The gap between them was 19 percentage points in ELA, 26 in math and 14 in science. Among the middle schools, El Sausal Middle topped La Paz Middle in every reported subject, including math by 9 points and science by 11. Alisal High had the list’s highest all-grades ELA result at 55%, but its 11th-grade ELA was 2 points below the state’s 57%; its 11th-grade math was 21%, versus 32% statewide.
Across all 15 schools, average proficiency rose from 30% to 33% in ELA, 22% to 23% in math and 16% to 18% in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. ELA and math moved closer to state results, while the science gap widened by about 1 point. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile improved for Monte Bella (37 to 47), while Alisal Community moved down (41 to 26); these rankings show relative standing, not score changes. For context, all elementary schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible for sy 2024–2025: figures ranged from 81% at Los Padres Elementary to 98% at Jesse G. Sanchez Elementary. Results do not sort neatly by this measure or by student-teacher ratio: Monte Bella led with a 26.1 ratio, while Sherwood Elementary had a lower 21.4 ratio but lower ELA and math results.
