Summary:

Zip code 90017 has nine schools: three elementary schools, one middle school, four high schools and one alternative school. Eight have 2025–2026 test results; N.E.W. Academy of Science and Arts has results through 2024–2025. Across the eight schools with current results, average proficiency is below the state rate in all three tested subjects: 8 points lower in English language arts (ELA), 12 points lower in math and 14 points lower in science. The most important takeaway is that these averages hide wide differences between schools, so results depend greatly on which school and subject a family considers.

School of Business and Tourism leads all-grades ELA at 73%, while Leadership & Public Service Virtual Academy leads math at 47% and science at 40%. Those results are 23, 9 and 4 points above their respective state rates. At the other end, Los Angeles School of Global Studies has the lowest ELA result, 23%, and math, 10%; School of Social Justice has the lowest science result, 5%. Among high schools, Academic Leadership Community (ALC) has the highest graduation rate at 89%, compared with 59% at Global Studies. In same-grade 11th-grade comparisons, Business and Tourism leads ELA at 73%, while the Virtual Academy leads math at 51% and science at 42%.

Average results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 by 1 point in ELA, 2 in math and 4 in science, slightly more than the state’s gains; however, Global Studies fell 26 points in ELA, 12 in math and 19 in science, while ALC rose 11, 9 and 8 points, respectively. SchoolDigger ranks Business and Tourism at the 71st percentile and ALC at the 56th percentile for 2025–2026. Income figures are context, not explanations: the elementary schools report free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025, from 96% at Gratts Learning Academy for Young Scholars (GLAYS) to 98% at Esperanza Elementary and N.E.W. Academy, yet their results differ. Similarly, Business and Tourism and ALC have the same enrollment of 392, but different results and student-teacher ratios: 19.5:1 and 16.6:1. Schools serve different grade spans, so all-grades comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.
