Summary:
ZIP code 96002 has two high schools serving grades 9–12: Enterprise High enrolls 1,148 students, while California Heritage Youthbuild Academy II enrolls 140. In the shared 2024–25 results, both schools were below California’s proficiency rates in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but their results differed substantially. The clearest overall finding is that Enterprise led Youthbuild by 36 percentage points in ELA, 29 in math, and 18 in science.
Enterprise stands out as the stronger performer in the comparable year: 46% of students were proficient in ELA, 32% in math, and 30% in science, versus 9%, 2%, and 13% at Youthbuild. California’s corresponding rates were 49%, 37%, and 33%, so Enterprise came closer to the state in every subject; Youthbuild was 40 points below the state in ELA, 35 in math, and 20 in science. Enterprise’s newer 2025–26 results are stronger still: 68% in ELA, 42% in math, and 44% in science—above state rates by 19, 3, and 8 percentage points.
Enterprise’s all-grades proficiency increased from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by 22 percentage points in ELA, 10 in math, and 13 in science. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking for Enterprise dipped from 79 in 2023–24 to 58 in 2024–25, then returned to 79 in 2025–26; Youthbuild’s ranking rose from 7 to 17 between 2022–23 and 2024–25, despite its low reported proficiency. In 2024–25, the student–teacher ratios were 21.2 at Enterprise and 28.3 at Youthbuild; their free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 66% and 83%, respectively. These are contextual differences, not explanations for achievement. One notable counterpoint for Enterprise is 2025–26 chronic absenteeism: 24%, compared with 18% statewide; its graduation rate was 94%, versus 88% statewide. Youthbuild has no newer test results here, so its score trend cannot be assessed.
