Summary:
The 90731 zip code of San Pedro, California is home to 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 4 high schools. This area demonstrates a wide range of academic performance, with some standout schools like Port of Los Angeles High, which ranks among the top 297 high schools in California, and top-performing elementary schools like White Point Elementary and Point Fermin Elementary, which rank in the top 1,500 elementary schools in the state.
The data reveals stark contrasts in academic performance among the schools in the 90731 zip code. While high-performing schools like Port of Los Angeles High, White Point Elementary, and Point Fermin Elementary demonstrate strong test scores, graduation rates, and other academic indicators, other schools, such as William J. Johnston Community Day and Angel's Gate (Continuation), struggle with low test scores, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism.
The data also suggests a potential correlation between the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and academic performance, with the schools serving higher-need populations tending to have lower test scores and other academic indicators. The presence of a high-performing public charter school, Port of Los Angeles High, highlights the potential benefits of school choice and alternative educational models in the area, while the challenges faced by continuation and community day schools underscore the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these student populations.
