Summary:
ZIP code 90035 has one listed middle school, Monsenor Oscar Romero Charter Middle, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 298 students. In 2024–2025, its proficiency rates were below California’s reported results in English language arts (ELA), math, and science; the largest shortfall was in math, at 27 percentage points below the state.
With only one school listed, it is both the highest and lowest by default, so there is no meaningful school-to-school comparison. Its all-grade results were 29% in ELA, 10% in math, and 17% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 37%, and 33%—gaps of 20, 27, and 15 percentage points, respectively. Eighth-grade ELA was the school’s strongest grade-and-subject result: 35%, though still 13 points below the state’s 48% for that grade. ELA proficiency was 25% in sixth grade and 26% in seventh; math ranged from 8% in seventh and eighth grades to 14% in sixth. The low math results span all three grades.
SchoolDigger’s ranking improved over three years, although the available figures do not establish that test scores rose: the school ranked 2,494th of 2,781 schools (10th percentile) in 2022–2023 and 2,333rd of 2,761 (16th percentile) in 2024–2025, moving up 161 places and 6 percentile points; it received one star in each year. The school reported that 91% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in school year 2024–2025; this is context, not an explanation of results. Its student–teacher ratio was 19.9 in 2024–2025, and reported per-student spending was $24,658 in 2023–2024. Because this is a one-school list and test results are provided for just one year, it cannot show how the school compares with similar local schools or whether achievement is changing over time.
