Summary:

ZIP code 57103 has eight schools—seven elementary schools and one middle school—serving students through grade eight, with results reported in English language arts (ELA), math and grade-specific science. Elementary-school averages in 2025–26 were 38% in ELA, 37% in math and 34% in fifth-grade science, below state results by 11, 7 and 7 percentage points, respectively. Most importantly, schoolwide results vary sharply: John Harris Elementary leads, while Cleveland Elementary trails by 45 points in ELA and 54 points in math.

Harris has the strongest elementary schoolwide results, with 62% proficiency in ELA and 68% in math; Cleveland has 17% and 15%. In fifth-grade science, Eugene Field A+ Elementary leads at 59%, compared with Cleveland’s 9%. SchoolDigger ranks Harris 26th of 203 statewide (87th percentile) and Harvey Dunn Elementary 52nd (74th percentile); Cleveland is 193rd (5th percentile). Whittier Middle School is also below state results: 33% in ELA versus 49% statewide, and 22% in math versus 44%.

Recent changes are mixed: Anne Sullivan Elementary improved 6 points in ELA and 8 in math from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while Cleveland’s ELA fell 6 points and Laura B. Anderson Elementary’s math fell 7. SchoolDigger’s percentile for Sullivan rose from 12 in 2023–24 to 17 in 2025–26. Similar reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares in 2024–25 did not mean similar scores: Dunn and Eugene Field each reported 47%, yet Dunn scored 10 points higher in ELA and 12 higher in math. Student-teacher ratios also do not map neatly to results: Terry Redlin Elementary has a ratio of 10.8 and Anderson 11.3, while Harris’s ratio is 17.7 and its math result is highest.
