Summary:

The 15 schools in Bellflower Unified include 10 elementary schools serving K–6, three high schools serving grades 7–12, and two alternative schools with different grade spans. In 2025–2026, the elementary schools’ average proficiency was 42% in English language arts, 35% in math, and 24% in science—about 8, 3, and 12 percentage points below state rates. The three high schools averaged 37% in ELA, 15% in math, and 19% in science, about 13, 23, and 17 points below state rates. The most important finding is that these averages hide large differences between schools: elementary results span 30 points in ELA, 29 in math, and 39 in science.

Intensive Learning Center leads elementary schools in ELA (59%) and science (44%), while Stephen Foster Elementary leads in math (51%). At the other end, Washington Elementary has the lowest elementary ELA and math results (29% and 22%), and Craig Williams Elementary has the lowest science result (4%). Among high schools, Mayfair High leads all three subjects, at 52% in ELA, 23% in math, and 32% in science. Somerset High is lowest, at 5%, 3%, and 2%; its 72% graduation rate and 63% chronic absenteeism also stand out against state rates of 88% and 18%.

Elementary progress is mixed: average math rose by about 1 percentage point from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while ELA was nearly unchanged and science fell by about 1 point. As state results rose, the elementary gap widened from 7 to 8 points in ELA, 2 to 3 in math, and 8 to 12 in science. Intensive Learning Center improved in all three subjects, including 10 points in math, while Foster science fell by 28 points. SchoolDigger ranks ILC at the 72nd percentile among California elementary schools and Washington at the 19th. As context, both ILC and Esther Lindstrom Elementary reported 62% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, yet ILC’s 2025–2026 results were higher by 15 points in ELA, 16 in math, and 25 in science; that comparison describes differences, not their cause.
