Summary:
ZIP code 90039 has five public elementary schools in Los Angeles Unified, serving kindergarten through grade 5 or 6 and enrolling 1,342 students combined. All five are above the state in the supplied 2025–2026 all-grades proficiency results, but their scores vary widely.

Ivanhoe scored 87% in ELA, 80% in math and 69% in science—about 38, 41 and 34 percentage points above the state, respectively. Clifford Street Elementary Math & Technology Magnet is the runner-up in ELA and math, at 79% and 71%; Atwater Avenue Elementary is next in science, at 60%. At the lower end, Atwater has the group’s lowest ELA result, 51%, while Glenfeliz Boulevard Elementary is lowest in math and science, at 43% and 40%. The strongest-to-weakest spreads are 36 points in ELA, 37 in math and 29 in science.
Across the five schools, science proficiency rose by 6 percentage points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while ELA and math averages barely changed; the group’s science margin over the state widened by 2 points, while its math margin narrowed by 1. SchoolDigger statewide rankings rose for all five schools between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026: Ivanhoe reached the 98th percentile, Clifford the 90th and Atwater the 69th.

Ivanhoe had the highest student-teacher ratio, 23.6, while Atwater had the lowest, 17.4—figures that do not follow a simple pattern with test results.
