Summary

Captain Raymond Collins is a K–5 elementary school serving 522 students in the Long Beach area, in Paramount Unified. Its test results are below the state and district in English, math, and science, and the clearest concern is that it has the lowest English and math proficiency among the 10 nearby schools compared.

In 2025–26, about 26% of students were proficient in English, 20% in math, and 18% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%, and district results of 41%, 26%, and 25%. The school was about 23 points below the state in English, 18 in math, and 18 in science. Compared with nearby-school averages—44% in English, 40% in math, and 29% in science—it was about 18, 20, and 11 points lower, respectively. Science is its strongest subject in nearby comparisons: its result is higher than three of the 10 schools and fourth-lowest overall. Fifth-grade math stands out as especially low, at 9%, versus 37% statewide and 25% in the district.

Science has improved most over time, rising about 10 points, from 9% in 2022–23 to 18% in 2025–26; math rose about 3 points, but its gap with the state widened. Chronic absenteeism also fell sharply, from 56% in 2021–22 to 25% in 2025–26, though the latest rate remains above the state’s 18%.

In 2024–25, 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 78%; this is context, not an explanation for results.
