Schools in Zip Code 90027

ZIP code 90027 has three schools serving 2,657 students: two K–5 elementary schools, Franklin Avenue Elementary and Los Feliz Science/Technical/Engineer/Math/Medicine Magnet, and grades 9–12 at John Marshall Senior High. The clearest area-wide finding is that Franklin is the strongest academic performer in the latest reported results.

Franklin leads the three schools in all-grades ELA, math and science, with scores of 84%, 85% and 76%—35, 47 and 40 percentage points above state rates. It also leads Los Feliz in every reported grade-matched elementary comparison. Results are more mixed at the other schools: Los Feliz is second in all-grades math at 51%, but its 32% science result is 4 points below the state. John Marshall’s all-grades math score is 38%, just under the state rate, though its ELA score is 70%, second among the schools. At John Marshall, all three 11th-grade subject results exceed state rates, while 12th-grade science is 17 points below the state. Because these schools serve different grade spans, all-grades comparisons are broad indicators rather than fully grade-matched comparisons.

Recent trends offer another distinction: Los Feliz improved in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026—by 4 points in ELA, 10 in math and 9 in science. John Marshall gained 7 points in ELA and science but fell 4 points in math; Franklin’s math rose 7 points, while its ELA slipped by about 1. SchoolDigger’s statewide elementary percentile ranking for Franklin rose from 94 to 99 over three years; Los Feliz’s latest ranking was 69, and John Marshall’s was 78. For additional context, the schools’ reported free/reduced lunch eligible rates for 2024–2025 were 26% at Franklin, 81% at Los Feliz and 71% at John Marshall. Student-teacher ratios were 24.1, 22.5 and 19.3, respectively; these measures describe differences among schools but do not explain their results. Chronic absenteeism also varies: 7% at Franklin, 15% at Los Feliz and 32% at John Marshall, compared with 18% statewide.
