Summary:

ZIP code 90005 has 13 schools serving elementary, middle, and high school students, plus one alternative school; enrollment ranges from 128 to 1,302. Ten schools report 2025–26 all-grade test results, while three have results for 2024–25 only. The 2025–26 school averages are below state figures in ELA, math, and science, but the widest differences are between schools: results span 48 percentage points in ELA, 55 in math, and 36 in science. The most important takeaway is that a ZIP-code average hides very different academic experiences from one school to another.

Hoover Street Elementary stands out across subjects, with 74% proficient in ELA, 69% in math, and 51% in science—about 25, 30, and 15 percentage points above state results. Wilshire Park Elementary is also above the state in all three subjects, at 51% in ELA, 47% in math, and 48% in science. At the other end, School for the Visual Arts and Humanities has the lowest math and science results—13% and 16%, roughly 25 and 20 points below state figures—while Ambassador-Global Leadership has the lowest ELA result, 26%, about 23 points below the state.

Across the same 10 schools with consecutive results, average scores rose about 1 percentage point in ELA, were nearly unchanged in math, and rose 5 points in science; statewide changes were about 0, 1, and 3 points, respectively. Progress varies: Los Angeles High School of the Arts improved in all three subjects, by 12 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 10 in science, while Visual Arts and Humanities fell by 10, 17, and 15 points. SchoolDigger’s rank history also shows movement: Wilton Place Elementary rose from the 28th to the 46th percentile. Income measures are context, not explanations: Wilshire Park reports 87% free/reduced lunch eligible, sy 2024–25, while Hoover Street reports 66% directly certified for free meals, sy 2024–25; these are different measures and are not directly comparable.
