Summary

Culver City High is a 9–12 school serving 2,012 students in Culver City, California. Its clearest strength is English: in 2025–2026, 78% of students were proficient, the highest reported result among the nearby schools in the comparison. The school’s strongest overall distinction is its combination of leading nearby-school English results and achievement above the state in all three tested subjects.

English is where the school stands out most: its 78% proficiency rate was 10 percentage points above the Culver City Unified rate and 29 points above the state; it also topped Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies by 4 points. Math is the main relative weakness. The school’s 49% was 11 points above the state, but 8 below its district and 4 below Los Angeles Center; among nearby schools with results, it ranked second. Science was 57%, 21 points above the state and 3 above the district, but 7 below Los Angeles Center. Graduation was 99%, compared with 88% statewide and 99% districtwide. Chronic absenteeism was lower than the state’s rate (14% versus 18%), but higher than the district’s (14% versus 10%).

Over the four reported years, math proficiency rose 9 percentage points and science rose 10, while English increased 1 point overall, despite a dip in 2024–2025 followed by a rebound. SchoolDigger ranked the school 222nd of 2,137 California schools in 2025–2026, at the 90th percentile with four stars. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 19.6, above the 16.1 average among nearby schools with reported ratios. The school reported 25% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the lowest rate among nearby schools reporting that same measure and year. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Military Connected Students was at the 29th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s 82nd-percentile overall ranking; this is a group-specific school ranking, not a measure of individual students.
