Summary:
The 90746 zip code area in Los Angeles is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. These schools are part of the Los Angeles Unified and Compton Unified school districts.
Among the standout schools in this area are Annalee Avenue Elementary and Towne Avenue Elementary, which rank in the top 40% and 43% of California elementary schools, respectively. These schools boast impressive test scores, with over 50% proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics for several grade levels. In contrast, the Virtual Academy of the Arts & Entertainment, an alternative school, stands out with the lowest graduation rates, highest dropout rates, and weakest test scores compared to state and district averages.
The data reveals a wide disparity in academic performance between the top-performing elementary schools and the lower-performing middle and alternative schools. This suggests that students may not be arriving at the higher grade levels fully prepared, as evidenced by the lower test scores at the middle and high school levels. Additionally, the free/reduced lunch rates, which can be a proxy for socioeconomic status, vary significantly across the schools, which may be a contributing factor to the differences in academic outcomes observed.
