Summary

Intensive Learning Center is a public elementary school serving 646 students in grades K-6 within the Bellflower Unified School District in Lakewood, CA, consistently earning a 3-star rating while outperforming its district academically.

The school stands out for its strong support of all students, consistently scoring higher than both the district and state averages in English, math, and science. It is particularly effective at helping students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds succeed, and it maintains better student attendance than most nearby schools. While the school's statewide ranking has dipped slightly over the past decade, its performance has stabilized, and it achieves these solid results even with lower per-student spending than some neighboring schools in the Long Beach Unified district.

When compared to nearby schools, Intensive Learning Center holds its own. For example, while Stephen Foster Elementary (in the same district) scores slightly higher in core subjects, Intensive Learning Center has a better record of student attendance. Compared to higher-performing schools like Holmes Elementary in Long Beach, it achieves its outcomes with a significantly lower chronic absenteeism rate. Areas for growth include addressing a noticeable drop in math scores in the upper grades, a pattern the school can work to improve.
