Summary:

The 90004 zip code in central Los Angeles contains 15 public schools serving approximately 7,023 students, including 11 elementary schools, one middle school, and three high schools, with the vast majority operated by the Los Angeles Unified district.

Academic performance varies widely, with Third Street Elementary standing out as a top performer in the 99th percentile statewide, while other elementary schools like Everest Value face significant challenges. The three charter high schools—Camino Nuevo High #2, Central City Value, and Rise Kohyang High—generally show stronger rankings than the sole traditional Virgil Middle school.

Key findings show no clear link between higher per-student spending and better outcomes, and chronic absenteeism is strongly correlated with lower test scores. High schools in the area show a consistent pattern of solid English proficiency but weaker math performance, while science scores are the lowest subject across all grade levels.
