Summary:
Zip code 94066 has one listed middle school, Parkside Intermediate, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 491 students. With no other middle schools in the list, families can compare Parkside’s results with district and California figures, but not with another local school. In 2025–2026, its all-grade math proficiency was near the state result, ELA was below it, and science was substantially lower; science is the clearest concern.
There is no school-to-school top or bottom in this one-school list; by subject, math was Parkside’s strongest result against California, and science its weakest. In 2025–2026, 39% of students met the math standard, about 1 percentage point above the state’s 38%, though 7 points below the district’s 46%. ELA proficiency was 45%, 4 points below both California at 49% and the district at 50%. Science was 26%, 10 points below California’s 36% and 12 points below the district’s 38%. Grade results also varied: math was above the state in grades 6 and 7, but 8 points below in grade 8; ELA was above the state in grade 7 but below in grades 6 and 8.
Recent results improved in math and ELA, while science moved in the wrong direction. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, math proficiency rose 7 points and its state-relative gap shifted from 6 points below to about 1 point above; ELA rose 3 points and its gap narrowed from 7 to 4 points below. Science fell 2 points as California’s result rose 3 points, widening Parkside’s state gap from 4 to 10 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking rose from the 47th percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024 to the 56th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026. Context figures include a 16.3 student–teacher ratio and 68% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these describe the school but do not explain its results. Because the list includes only one school, it cannot show how Parkside compares with other schools in the ZIP code.
