Redondo Beach Unified

The Redondo Beach Unified School District is a high-performing district with 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district's schools consistently rank among the top in California, with several standout performers like Birney Elementary, Jefferson Elementary, and Tulita Elementary ranking in the top 5% of California elementary schools.

The district's middle schools, Adams Middle and Parras (Nick G.) Middle, also perform exceptionally well, with both ranking in the top 10% of California middle schools. At the high school level, Redondo Union High stands out with a 95.1% four-year graduation rate and strong test scores.

While the district as a whole is high-performing, there is some variation in school quality, with a noticeable gap between the top-performing elementary schools and the lower-performing ones. Additionally, the district's alternative school, Patricia Dreizler Continuation High, has lower test scores and a higher dropout rate compared to the traditional high school. Overall, the Redondo Beach Unified School District provides a quality education, and identifying and replicating the practices of the top-performing schools could help raise achievement across the entire district.
