Summary:
Schools in zip code 94066 include 8 schools—6 elementary schools, 1 intermediate school and 1 high school—with 3,856 students combined. The results show a wide range of performance rather than one consistent level across the area: some schools are well above state results, while others are well below.
In the 2025–2026 all-grades results, Monte Verde Elementary leads in ELA and math, with 79% and 80% proficient; John Muir Elementary leads in science at 75%. Portola Elementary is also strong, with 65% in ELA, 62% in math and 67% in science. At the other end, Belle Air Elementary has the lowest results in all three subjects: 25% in ELA, 23% in math and 6% in science. The gap between the highest and lowest school is 54 percentage points in ELA, 57 in math and 68 in science. Lomita Park Elementary is also below the state in all three subjects.
Year-to-year results are mixed: the equal-weight school average edged down in ELA, rose by 1 point in math and 4 points in science. SchoolDigger rankings also vary: from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, Allen (Decima M.) Elementary rose 7 percentile points, while Lomita Park fell 16; Monte Verde ranked at the 96th percentile and Belle Air at the 13th in 2025–2026. Similar reported income measures accompany very different results: for 2024–2025, Portola and Lomita Park were 36% and 35% free/reduced lunch eligible, but Portola led by 38 points in ELA, 31 in math and 43 in science. Student-teacher ratios also do not show a simple pattern: John Muir’s was 28.9 students per teacher, yet its results were strong. All-grades comparisons span schools serving different grades, so they do not provide a fully grade-matched comparison.
