Summary:
Zip code 94606 has four middle schools, all serving grades 6–8, with shared 2024–2025 results showing a wide spread in achievement: school averages ranged from 21% to 77% in English language arts (ELA), 19% to 74% in math, and 13% to 60% in science. Three schools were above the state in ELA, but only one was above it in math and science. The clearest takeaway is that the slightly above-state area averages hide a sharp divide between schools rather than broad strength across the area.
Downtown Charter Academy stands out at the top, leading all four schools in every subject with 77% proficiency in ELA, 74% in math, and 60% in science—about 29, 37, and 27 percentage points above state results. Roosevelt Middle is the clearest concern: its 21% ELA, 19% math, and 13% science results were about 28, 18, and 19 points below the state. Aspire Benjamin Holt Middle offered a stronger ELA result at 54%, above the state, while its math and science results were just below state rates. Aspire Centennial College Preparatory Academy scored 51% in ELA, 28% in math, and 26% in science. Downtown led the next-highest school by 23 points in ELA, 37 in math, and 28 in science.
Roosevelt’s scores rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, but its progress was uneven against the state: its ELA gap narrowed from 28 to 23 points, its math gap stayed near 18 points, and its science gap widened from 19 to 22 points. Only Roosevelt has results for 2025–2026, so those figures do not support a current-year comparison across all four schools. SchoolDigger ranked Downtown 145th of 2,761 schools, in the 95th percentile with five stars; Roosevelt ranked 2,329th, in the 16th percentile with one star. Enrollment ranges from 305 at Downtown to 573 at Holt, and the student–teacher ratios range from 15.2 at Roosevelt to 28.7 at Holt. The reported 2024–2025 income measures differ: Downtown and Holt reported 75% and 69% free/reduced lunch eligible, Roosevelt reported 97%, and Centennial reported 60% directly certified for free meals; these are context, not directly comparable measures. Reported chronic absenteeism ranged from 4% at Downtown to 25% at Centennial and Roosevelt.
