Schools in Zip Code 95207

Zip code 95207 has 18 schools—10 elementary, one middle, five high and two alternative schools—serving students across a range of grades and school settings. For the 15 schools with 2025–2026 results, the unweighted school averages were 42% in ELA, 25% in math and 26% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. These averages are not student-weighted, and all-grades results cover different grade spans at different schools. The most important finding is that results vary widely, with math showing the largest average gap from the state: 14 percentage points below.

Middle College High leads the latest results in all three subjects, with 93% in ELA, 61% in math and 75% in science—44, 23 and 39 percentage points above state results. John McCandless Charter is a strong broad K–8 performer, at 54% in ELA, 44% in math and 39% in science, each above the state. At the lower end, Village Oaks High has the lowest math result at 2%, while Adams Elementary has the lowest ELA result at 18%; Pulliam Elementary has the lowest science result at 9%. These differences show why a single area-wide figure can hide very different school profiles.

Recent changes are mixed rather than a broad improvement: across the same 15 schools, average results rose 1 percentage point in ELA and science and fell 1 point in math. Pacific Law Academy had especially sharp declines—23 points in ELA and 21 in science—while Middle College fell 6 points in ELA, 13 in math and 6 in science but remains far above state results. SchoolDigger ranks Middle College in the 98th percentile among high schools and McCandless in the 76th percentile among elementary schools. The reported low-income measure is free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025: 54% at Middle College and 59% at McCandless, compared with 83% at Village Oaks; these figures are context, not an explanation for test results.
