Summary

Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall is a 225-student school serving grades 6–12 in Downey, in the Los Angeles County Office of Education district. In 2025–26, it reported 0% proficiency in ELA, math and science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%, and district results of 46%, 24% and 27%. Most importantly, its reported proficiency was below every nearby school in all three subjects.

Academic results are the school’s clearest weakness against nearby schools, its district and the state. Nearby schools averaged 58% in ELA, 26% in math and 27% in science; even Vista High, the lowest nearby school in each subject, reported 18%, 3% and 9%. Graduation outcomes also lagged: Los Padrinos’ rate was 35%, versus 82% for the district and 88% statewide, while its 32% dropout rate exceeded the district’s and state’s 8% rates. Nearby graduation rates ranged from 76% to 99%, and dropout rates from 0% to 24%. Nearby all-grades comparisons are directional because schools serve different grade spans.

Results have not improved overall across the three years shown: ELA rose to 10% and math to 5% in 2024–25, but both returned to 0% in 2025–26; science remained at 0%. Over that period, the gap with the state widened by 2 points in ELA, 3 in math and 5 in science. Graduation rose from 30% in 2023–24 to 35% in 2025–26, but dropout increased from 21% in 2024–25 to 32% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger ranked Los Padrinos in the 2nd percentile with 0 stars in 2025–26, down from the 13th percentile the year before. Its student-teacher ratio, 10.3 in 2024–25, was the lowest among nearby schools. The reported low-income measure was 50% directly certified for free meals in 2024–25; the data also indicates the school likely serves all students free meals through Community Eligibility. Nearby schools report free/reduced-lunch eligibility, a different measure that cannot be directly compared.
