Summary:
Schools in zip code 94014 include nine schools serving kindergarten through grade 12: six elementary schools (including a K–8 school), one middle school and two high schools across four districts. In 2025–2026, the schools’ equal-school average was below the state in all three subjects, and results varied widely from school to school. Most importantly, while state results rose from the prior year, the area’s average fell in ELA, math and science.
Thomas R. Pollicita Middle led all-grades ELA at 50%, just above the state’s 49%; Panorama Elementary led math at 55%, 16 points above the state’s 38%. Jefferson High had the strongest reported science result, 35%, close to the state’s 36%. At the other end, Thornton High had the lowest reported results in every subject: 10% in ELA, 10% in math and 7% in science—40, 28 and 29 points below the state, respectively. Strong results can also be grade-specific: eighth graders at Bayshore scored 53% in ELA and 58% in math, both above their state comparisons.
The group’s average declined by 2 points in ELA, 2 in math and 6 in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while state results rose by 0, 1 and 3 points, respectively. Panorama was a notable exception in math but its science result dropped 55 points, from 81% to 27%. SchoolDigger ranked Panorama at the 64th statewide percentile, Pollicita at the 60th and Jefferson at the 55th; Thornton was at the 18th. School context also differs: Panorama’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14.4, compared with Jefferson’s 19.4, while Thornton’s was 11.5. For 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 52% at Susan B. Anthony Elementary and 52% at John F. Kennedy Elementary, yet their subject results differed; these figures are context, not an explanation for outcomes. All-grades comparisons span different grade ranges, so results for individual grades can offer a closer comparison.
