Summary:
The 90035 zip code area of Los Angeles, California is home to 4 schools serving grades K-12, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The standout school in this group is Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies (LACES), a public 6-12 grade school that consistently outperforms the district and state on standardized tests. In contrast, Monsenor Oscar Romero Charter Middle School appears to be the weakest performer, ranking in the bottom 15% of California middle schools.
LACES has a 94.1% 4-year graduation rate and a low 4.5% dropout rate, while the other schools did not provide this data. LACES students significantly outperform the Los Angeles Unified district and California state averages on English Language Arts, Math, and Science tests. The two elementary schools, Canfield Avenue Elementary and Crescent Heights Boulevard Elementary, have higher rates of students eligible for free/reduced lunch compared to LACES, indicating the latter may serve a more affluent population.
Chronic absenteeism rates are quite high across the schools, ranging from 16.1% to 35.2%, which could negatively impact student learning. Student-teacher ratios also vary, with the elementary schools having higher ratios than the middle and high school. Overall, this analysis highlights the significant disparities in school performance within the 90035 zip code area, with LACES standing out as a high-achieving institution while the other schools, particularly Monsenor Oscar Romero Charter Middle, struggle to meet state standards.
