Summary:

This analysis covers six public high schools (grades 9-12) in the 90001 zip code of Los Angeles, serving over 2,600 students in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among these schools, Animo Pat Brown stands out as the top performer, boasting a 97.9% graduation rate and the strongest test scores in English and Science; it operates independently under the Animo Pat Brown District. The other five schools are part of the Los Angeles Unified district and share a campus, yet show varied results. For instance, Public Service Community at Diego Rivera Learning Complex has the area's best math scores but surprisingly low science proficiency, while Performing Arts Community at Diego Rivera Learning Complex faces the most significant challenges with the lowest test scores and highest dropout rate.

Overall, schools in this area graduate students at rates meeting or exceeding the state average, which is a significant strength. However, academic proficiency, especially in math, lags behind state averages, and chronic absenteeism is a widespread concern affecting all schools. The performance differences among the five schools on the same campus highlight how individual school culture and focus can impact student outcomes even within the same community and district.
