El Segundo Unified

The El Segundo Unified School District is home to 5 exceptional schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a continuation high school). These schools consistently demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, with multiple schools ranking among the top-performing institutions in California.

The standout schools in the district are El Segundo High School, which ranks in the top 10% of high schools in the state and boasts a 98% 4-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, as well as Center Street Elementary and Richmond Street Elementary, which both rank in the top 8% of California elementary schools. These schools excel in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with proficiency rates well above state averages.

While the district as a whole demonstrates exceptional academic performance, the data also reveals some areas for potential improvement. The continuation high school, Arena High, has a lower 75% graduation rate and a higher 10% dropout rate, suggesting the district may need to focus on supporting its most vulnerable students to ensure equitable outcomes. Additionally, the district could explore ways to further improve performance, such as addressing the slightly lower proficiency rates in Math compared to English Language Arts, and investigating the reasons for the higher chronic absenteeism rates at some schools.
