Best Public Schools in Zip Code 90019

This analysis covers eight public schools in Los Angeles's 90019 zip code, serving grades K-12, all of which primarily serve economically disadvantaged students within the Los Angeles Unified district, except for one charter school.

Queen Anne Place Elementary stands out as the top performer, achieving strong test scores and the best attendance despite a high poverty rate. In contrast, Johnnie Cochran Junior Middle has the lowest academic rankings and highest chronic absenteeism, even though it spends the most per student. The only high school, Los Angeles Senior High, shows a paradox with very low test scores but an excellent graduation rate.

Generally, elementary schools like Saturn Street Elementary and Alta Loma Elementary outperform the middle and high schools in the area. City Language Immersion Charter, part of its own charter district, has seen a recent sharp decline in its state ranking. A clear pattern across all schools is that student math scores drop significantly from elementary to higher grade levels.
