Summary:
Zip code 93907 has nine schools: seven elementary schools and two high schools, serving grades K–12 across different settings. Six elementary schools serve K–6, while Lagunita Elementary serves K–5; the high schools are an independent-study program for grades 7–12 and a continuation school for grades 9–12. The clearest takeaway is that results vary sharply among the K–6 schools: Boronda Elementary stands well ahead of most local peers, while five of the six K–6 schools scored below 30% in ELA in 2025–26.
Boronda Elementary led the K–6 group in 2025–26 ELA, math and science, with 49%, 36% and 47% proficiency. It topped the next-highest K–6 school by 21 points in ELA, 11 in math and 25 in science. Lagunita Elementary had higher all-grades ELA and math results than Boronda—59% and 67%—but serves a different grade span and has just 62 students. Among the high schools, North Monterey County Center for Independent Study led in all three subjects, at 42% ELA, 33% math and 33% science. Central Bay High (Continuation) recorded 0% in ELA and math and 7% in science.
Boronda Elementary also had the strongest upward trend: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, its ELA rose 18 percentage points and science rose 22, compared with state gains of less than 1 point and 3 points. Its SchoolDigger ranking rose from the 35th to the 59th percentile between 2023–24 and 2025–26. Results did not rise everywhere: Echo Valley Elementary’s science score fell 10 points. School characteristics add context, but do not explain results: Boronda Elementary had 288 students and a 22.1 student-teacher ratio, while Lagunita Elementary had 62 students and a 12.4 ratio. In 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 42% at Boronda, 77% at Boronda Meadows and 60% at Laurel Wood Elementary; these are observations, not explanations of score differences. Small-school results may reflect relatively few students.
