Summary:

Norwalk-La Mirada Unified has 25 schools serving elementary, middle, and high school students: 16 elementary schools, five middle schools, and four high schools. The 2025–26 school averages were below state figures in all three subjects: 46% in English language arts (ELA), 36% in math, and 32% in science, compared with 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. These are unweighted averages of school results, not student-weighted district scores. The most important finding is how different school experiences can be: results span 60 points in ELA, 42 in math, and 47 in science.

Arlie F. Hutchinson Middle stands out across subjects, with 67% ELA, 51% math, and 53% science; its ELA and science results were 18 and 17 points above state figures. Julia B. Morrison Elementary led the list in math at 63%, 24 points above the state, and also exceeded state results in ELA and science. Among high schools, Norwalk High led in ELA at 64%, while La Mirada High led the regular high schools in math at 38% and science at 45%. At the other end, El Camino High (Continuation) had the lowest ELA and science results, 7% and 6%; its graduation rate was 68%, versus 88% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 79%, versus 18% statewide.

Science is improving faster than the state result, while ELA and math are losing ground: the school-average science result rose 4 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, compared with a 3-point state increase; ELA and math gains lagged statewide gains. Science rose at 18 of the 25 schools. SchoolDigger rankings also show a wide spread: Hutchinson was at the 84th statewide percentile, while Edmondson Elementary was at the 21st. The reported low-income measure is free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–25: Morrison was 75% and Gardenhill Elementary was 50%, yet both were above state results in all three subjects. These figures are context, not an explanation for school results.
