Summary:
ZIP code 90036 has one listed high school, Whitman Continuation, serving grades 9–12; it enrolls 45 students and has a student–teacher ratio of 15.2:1. With no other high schools in the area list, Whitman’s results are the area’s results. The most pressing concern in the reported 2025–2026 outcomes is chronic absenteeism: 81% of students were chronically absent, compared with 23% in Los Angeles Unified and 18% statewide.
Whitman Continuation is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in this ZIP-code group by default, so there is no meaningful school-to-school ranking. Its strongest latest subject result was Science: 35% in 2025–2026, just 1 percentage point below the state’s 36% and 3 points above the district’s 32%. In 2024–2025, Whitman scored below the state in all three reported subjects: 27% in ELA versus 49% statewide, 23% in math versus 37%, and 14% in Science versus 33%. Latest ELA and math scores for Whitman are not available, so those subjects cannot be compared across the two years.
Science is the clearest sign of improvement: Whitman Continuation rose from 14% in 2024–2025 to 35% in 2025–2026, a 21-point increase, while its gap with the state narrowed from 18 points below to 1 point below. SchoolDigger’s ranking history also moved upward overall, from the 13th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 33rd percentile in 2024–2025, though it fell 11 points from the 44th percentile in 2023–2024. As context, 91% of Whitman students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. With only one school in the list, these figures cannot show how Whitman compares with similar schools.
