Summary:

ZIP code 90002 has eight elementary schools: seven in Los Angeles Unified and one KIPP school. Most serve students through grade 6, three go through grade 5, and KIPP serves through grade 4. Seven schools have 2025–2026 results; KIPP’s latest supplied scores are from 2024–2025, so it is not included in current comparisons. The central takeaway is that results vary widely: the seven-school average is above California’s in math but below the state in ELA and science.

Weigand Avenue Elementary leads the current group in ELA and science, at 50% and 47%, and is second in math, at 53%. Ninety-Ninth Street Elementary leads math at 56% and is close behind Weigand in ELA at 50%; its science result of 36% is essentially at the state rate. By contrast, Florence Griffith Joyner Elementary has the lowest results in all three subjects: 20% in ELA, 23% in math and 8% in science. Across the seven schools, averages are 40% in ELA, 42% in math and 25% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. Weigand is the only school above the state in all three subjects.

Results improved overall from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: the seven-school averages rose 4 percentage points in ELA, 7 in math and 11 in science, compared with state increases of less than 1, 1 and 3 points. All seven schools improved in math, while six improved in ELA and science; Florence Griffith Joyner’s ELA and science results fell. Weigand also rose in SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking, from 34 in 2023–2024 to 70 in 2025–2026. Low-income figures offer context, not an explanation: in 2024–2025, Ninety-Ninth Street reported 97% free/reduced lunch eligible and Judith F. Baca Arts Academy reported 98%, yet Ninety-Ninth Street’s 2025–2026 results were higher by 16 points in ELA, 23 in math and 10 in science. These are school-level observations, not evidence of what caused the difference.
