Summary:
The 90007 zip code area of Los Angeles, California is home to 17 schools serving a diverse range of students, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. While the schools in this area face significant socioeconomic challenges, with many having high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, the data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance and outcomes among the schools.
Some standout schools in the area include Orthopaedic Hospital, a high school that consistently ranks in the top 15% of California high schools and achieves a 99.4% four-year graduation rate, as well as Thirty-Second Street USC Performing Arts, an alternative school with a 100% four-year graduation rate and exceptional academic outcomes. In contrast, other schools in the area, such as Lenicia B. Weemes Elementary and William Jefferson Clinton Middle, struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates.
The data also suggests that public charter schools, such as Alliance Gertz-Ressler Richard Merkin 6-12 Complex and Animo Jackie Robinson High, tend to outperform traditional public schools in the area, particularly in terms of graduation rates and test scores. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates observed at several schools could be a key priority for improving student outcomes in the 90007 zip code area, which faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the disparities in academic performance.
