Summary

El Segundo High is a top-performing public high school serving about 1,230 students in grades 9-12 within the highly-ranked El Segundo Unified district, located in an affluent coastal community in Los Angeles County.

The school consistently ranks in the state's top 5%, with exceptional academic results: over 82% of students are proficient in English and over 61% in math, far exceeding state averages. It also boasts a near-perfect 97.4% graduation rate with 0% dropout and a chronic absenteeism rate roughly half the state average. What truly sets the school apart is its strong performance across all student groups, demonstrating effective support for diverse learners. While math proficiency is a relative area for improvement compared to its stellar English scores, it still significantly outpaces nearby schools like Hawthorne High or WESM Health/Sports Medicine.

El Segundo High achieves these outstanding outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than several lower-performing neighboring schools. The contrast with nearby schools in other districts is stark, highlighting a significant performance gap within a small geographic area. For instance, while the high-performing Da Vinci Science charter school comes close, other nearby schools struggle with much lower graduation and proficiency rates. The school's consistent excellence through challenging times points to a resilient and effective educational environment for all students.
