Summary:

Long Beach Unified has 81 schools—52 elementary, 15 middle, 13 high and one alternative—serving students from elementary through high school. The records include all 13 high schools but only some elementary and middle schools, so they cannot support districtwide school averages. The clearest overall finding is how widely listed schools differ: all-grades test results span 92 percentage points in English language arts (ELA), 85 points in math and 89 points in science.

At the top, Eunice Sato Academy of Math & Science leads ELA at 98% proficient—4 percentage points above the next-highest school and 48 points above the state. California Academy of Mathematics and Science (CAMS) leads math at 91% and science at 90%, respectively 12 and 9 points above the next-highest schools. Among listed elementary schools, Gant Elementary scores 79% in both ELA and math; Stanford Middle leads listed middle schools in ELA and math, at 65% and 53%. At the low end, Reid High has 6% in ELA and 5% in math, while Renaissance High School for the Arts has 2% in science. Reid serves only grades 11–12 and enrolls 50 students, so its results merit extra caution.

Across the 13 listed high schools, average ELA and math results were essentially flat from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while science rose 3 percentage points to 29%; the averages remain 4 points above the state in ELA and 7 points below in math and science. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings also moved in different directions: McBride High rose 8 points over three years, while Wilson High fell 17. Income measures offer context, not an explanation: in 2024–25, Lincoln Elementary reported 89% free/reduced lunch eligible and scored 52% in ELA, while King Elementary reported 76% and scored 29%; Newcomb Academy reported 20% alongside strong results.
