Summary

Robert Louis Stevenson College and Career Preparatory is a Los Angeles Unified middle school in Los Angeles, California, serving 792 students in grades 6–8. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were below district and state averages in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The clearest concern is broad academic underperformance, with math the most consistent weakness in comparisons with the district and nearby schools.

Science is the school’s closest subject to the nearby-school average, while math is furthest behind: among five nearby schools with current-year scores, the averages were 22% in science, 40% in ELA, and 28% in math, compared with 19%, 35%, and 22% at the school. It was below Los Angeles Unified and California in every subject: ELA was 35% versus 48% and 49%, math 22% versus 40% and 38%, and science 19% versus 32% and 36%. In nearby comparisons, its science result was just 2 points below average, while math was 7 points below. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ranking also trails most nearby schools: its 28th percentile was below Hollenbeck Middle at 56 and Griffith Middle at 49, but above CDS Secondary at 21.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose from 31% to 35%, math from 16% to 22%, and science from 11% to 19%; state gaps narrowed by about 2 points in each subject, though they remain substantial. SchoolDigger gives the school 1 star. Its reported free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 96% in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby schools, whose rates ranged from 76.6% to 96.0%. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 18.6, below the nearby-school comparison average of 21.0. One notable subgroup result is the SchoolDigger statewide percentile for Special Education Students: it climbed to 56 in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall percentile of 28, suggesting a stronger relative ranking for this group.
