Summary:

The El Segundo Unified school district is a highly-rated system of five public schools serving grades K-12 in the El Segundo area, consistently ranking in the top 5% of districts statewide.

Families can expect strong academic performance across all traditional schools, which all earn 4 or 5-star ratings. El Segundo Middle stands out for its perfect 5-star consistency and exceptionally low chronic absenteeism. At the elementary level, Richmond Street Elementary leads in math proficiency, while Center Street Elementary also maintains high performance. The district's standout, El Segundo High, boasts a near-perfect graduation rate, zero dropouts, and very strong English scores.

The district's success is supported by an excellent attendance culture, with chronic absenteeism rates less than half the state average. While all schools perform well above state averages, math scores show some variation between schools, and science proficiency, though strong, is slightly lower than English and math within the district. The district also includes Arena High (Continuation), a small alternative school with high per-student funding and a 100% graduation rate for its students.
