Best Public Schools in Zip Code 90005


Summary:

The 90005 zip code area of Los Angeles is home to 12 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. While the schools serve a student population facing significant economic challenges, with most having very high free/reduced lunch rates, the data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools in the area.

Two standout schools are John Burroughs Middle and Hoover Street Elementary, which have consistently high test scores, ranking in the top 20% and top 10% of California schools, respectively. In contrast, schools like Wilton Place Elementary and Ambassador School-Global Education struggle, with proficiency rates well below district and state averages.

The data also suggests that charter schools in the area, such as Equitas Academy #2 and Magnolia Science Academy 6, generally have stronger academic performance compared to the traditional public schools, despite serving similar student populations. Additionally, high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the alternative and some middle schools, indicate that attendance and engagement are significant challenges that need to be addressed in the 90005 zip code area.
