Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 94513 include 16 schools—9 elementary, 3 middle and 4 high schools—offering options from elementary through high school. In 2025–26, elementary and middle school averages were above the state figures in all three tested subjects, while the four-school high school average was below state in ELA, math and science. That high-school average masks the area’s sharpest contrast: the two comprehensive high schools scored far above the two smaller high schools on 11th-grade tests.
Heritage High leads the high schools in all-grades ELA, math and science, with 67%, 40% and 50% proficient; Liberty High follows at 61%, 29% and 38%. Adams (J. Douglas) Middle leads its level in all three subjects, at 69% ELA, 55% math and 52% science—about 12, 21 and 15 percentage points above the next-highest middle-school scores. At the elementary level, R. Paul Krey Elementary leads in ELA and science (60% and 48%), while Isaac R. Montanez Elementary leads in math (56%). At the bottom among high schools, La Paloma High (Continuation) scores 12% in ELA, 2% in math and 8% in science.
Recent changes are mixed: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, elementary averages fell 3 percentage points in ELA and 1 in math but rose 1 in science; middle-school ELA was nearly unchanged, math fell 3 points and science rose 4; high-school ELA fell 4 points, while math rose 1 and science was nearly unchanged. SchoolDigger ranks Adams at the 86th statewide percentile and Heritage at the 80th, compared with the 10th for La Paloma and 30th for Independence High. Reported low-income measures are for 2024–25: free/reduced lunch eligible was 20% at Heritage and 36% at Liberty, while directly certified for free meals was 17% at Adams; these are different measures and context, not explanations for scores.
