Summary

Addams Elementary is a K–5 school in Long Beach, California, serving 717 students in Long Beach Unified. Its latest proficiency results were about 31% in English language arts (ELA), 28% in math and 22% in science. The most important finding is that Addams’s proficiency was below both state and district levels in all three subjects.

Compared with the state and district, ELA is Addams’s largest concern: about 31% of students were proficient, versus 49% statewide and 51% in the district, gaps of 18 and 20 percentage points. Math was about 28%, 11 points below the state and 12 below the district; science was about 22%, 14 and 10 points below those benchmarks. Among Addams and nine nearby K–5 schools, Addams ranked second-lowest in ELA, third-lowest in math and fourth-lowest in science. Its results were also below nearby-school averages of about 47% in ELA, 43% in math and 35% in science. Science is a relative bright spot locally: Addams scored higher than Grant Elementary, Barton Elementary and Dooley Elementary. Third-grade ELA was especially low, at about 21%, while fifth-grade results compared better with some local peers.

Over time, Addams’s proficiency fell from 2022–23 to 2025–26 in ELA, math and science, while state rates rose, widening the state gap in each subject. Science has improved by about 3 points since 2023–24, but remains below its earlier result. SchoolDigger placed Addams at the 26th percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, down from the 42nd percentile in 2022–23. In 2024–25, its student-teacher ratio was 24.3, below the 26.2 average for nearby district schools; 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
