Summary:
The 90660 zip code area is home to 14 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the El Rancho Unified School District. While the district is ranked 944 out of 1,568 in California and has a 2-star rating, a few standout schools in the area are performing well above the district and state averages.
Valencia Academy of the Arts is an elementary school that consistently outperforms on standardized tests, with over 50% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. STEAM Academy @ Burke, a middle school, also exceeds district and state averages, with over 40% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and nearly 30% in Mathematics. At the high school level, El Rancho High stands out with a 96.3% four-year graduation rate and test scores that surpass the district and state.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance, with some schools, such as Ruben Salazar Continuation High School, struggling significantly. This school has an 80.2% graduation rate and a 14.6% dropout rate, as well as the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 74.7%. Additionally, the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.4% at El Rancho High to 86.57% at North Park Academy of the Arts, indicate that many students in the area come from low-income families, which can present additional challenges for academic achievement.
