Summary:
The 90002 zip code area of Los Angeles is home to 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. This area faces significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the consistently high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across the schools.
