Summary

Luther Burbank Mid School Sci Technical Engr Arts and Math Magnet is a Los Angeles middle school serving 824 students in grades 6–8 within Los Angeles Unified. Its 2025–2026 results show a mixed academic picture: ELA and math proficiency exceeded state and district averages, while science proficiency was below both. The clearest takeaway is that the school’s academic strengths are in ELA and math, not science.

Compared with nearby schools, Luther Burbank’s results were below the local averages in all three subjects, especially science. ELA proficiency was 54%, versus a nearby-school average of 57%; it was 4 points above the state and 5 above the district, and ranked 7th of 10 nearby schools. Math was 45%, compared with a local average of 50%; it was 6 points above the state and 5 above the district, ranking 5th of 10. Science was 29%, versus a nearby average of 43%; it was 7 points below the state and 3 below the district, and was fourth-lowest among the 10 nearby schools. Eighth-grade math stands out: 55% were proficient, compared with 40% in both grades 6 and 7; the eighth-grade result ranked third among nearby schools.

Results have improved over time, though not equally across subjects. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose from 41% to 54%, moving from 6 points below the state to 4 points above it; math increased from 38% to 45%, while science rose from 24% to 29% but remained below the state. SchoolDigger places the school at the 68th percentile, rank 873 of 2,703, with 3 stars; its percentile rose from 51 in 2021–2022. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 16.9, below the nearby-school average of 20.7, and 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup percentile for White students was 85 in 2025–2026, compared with 68 overall, indicating stronger relative standing for that group. Its reported English Language Learner percentile rose from 7 in 2022–2023 to 64 in 2023–2024, with no later subgroup year supplied.
