Summary:

ZIP code 95628 has 10 schools in San Juan Unified: four elementary schools, one middle school and five schools classified as high schools. Their 2025–26 all-grades averages were 53% in English language arts (ELA), 30% in math and 38% in science, compared with statewide results of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. Results vary substantially from school to school, so an area-wide average does not describe every family’s options. The clearest area-wide concern is math: the average is 30%, versus 38% statewide.

Meraki High leads in ELA, at 94%, and science, at 60%—44 and 24 percentage points above the state, respectively. Earl LeGette Elementary leads in math at 56%, 17 points above the state, while Orangevale Open K-8 is above the state in all three subjects: 56% ELA, 45% math and 51% science. At the lower end, Will Rogers Middle has the lowest reported ELA and science results, at 36% and 16%; Northridge Elementary has the lowest elementary ELA result, at 34%, and La Vista Center has the lowest math result, at 9%.

Recent changes are mixed: among schools with comparable results, the ELA average rose 2 percentage points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, math rose 1 point, and science fell 2 points as its advantage over the state narrowed from 8 points to 2. SchoolDigger ranks Earl LeGette in the 78th percentile (4 stars) and Meraki in the 89th percentile (4 stars), while Will Rogers is in the 25th percentile (1 star). As context, free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25 were 76% at Will Rogers, compared with 37% at Earl LeGette and 40% at Meraki; Meraki’s student-teacher ratio was 37.2:1, illustrating that these measures do not sort schools into a simple performance pattern. Because schools serve different grade spans, comparisons are most useful when they match the same grade.
