Summary:

ZIP code 94080 has 12 schools: six elementary schools, three middle schools and three high schools, including a continuation school, serving students from elementary through high school. In 2025–2026, the schools’ averages were about 42% proficient in ELA, 31% in math and 31% in science, below state averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. The main takeaway is the wide variation from school to school, especially in math, where the gap between the highest and lowest results was 66 percentage points.

El Camino High led ELA at 70% proficient, about 21 points above the state; Buri Buri Elementary led math at 66% and science at 54%, about 28 and 18 points above state results. At the other end, Baden High (Continuation) had the lowest ELA result at 17% and math at 0%; Los Cerritos Elementary had the lowest science result at 11%. Among middle schools, Westborough Middle was above the state in all three subjects, at 56% ELA, 49% math and 46% science, while Parkway Heights Middle scored 26%, 19% and 23%.

Across the two years, the group’s average science result rose 5 percentage points, while math fell by 1 point and ELA was nearly unchanged; the gap to the state widened in ELA and math but narrowed in science. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide rankings placed Buri Buri at the 85th percentile, El Camino at the 83rd and Westborough at the 77th, compared with the 6th percentile for Los Cerritos, 7th for Martin Elementary and 14th for Spruce Elementary. The reported low-income measure is free/reduced lunch eligible, for 2024–2025: it ranged from 25% at El Camino to 70% at Martin, but does not sort schools neatly by results. For example, Ponderosa Elementary had 35% eligible and scored above the state in all three subjects.
