Summary:

ZIP code 94565 has 19 elementary, middle and high schools across three districts, with results that vary considerably from school to school. In 2025–2026, the average school result was 25% proficient in ELA, 16% in math and 14% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding is that average proficiency in all three subjects was about 22 to 24 percentage points below the state.

Among the reported all-grades results, Los Medanos Elementary led ELA at 37%, Delta View Elementary led math at 29%, and Pittsburg Senior High led science at 23%; each was still 10 to 13 points below the state in its leading subject. Golden Gate Community reported 0% in all three subjects, while the lowest results among the other schools were 12% in ELA at Shore Acres Elementary, 5% in math and 6% in science at Black Diamond High (Continuation).
