Summary:
ZIP code 90040 has three schools: Rosewood Park and Bandini Elementary, which serve elementary grades, and Kirby Dorothy Camp, which serves grades 7–12. In 2025–2026, the average all-grades proficiency across the schools was 15% in English language arts (ELA) and 12% in math, compared with 49% and 38% statewide. Kirby’s all-grades science result is suppressed, so science comparisons include only schools with reported results. Most importantly, all three schools were below state proficiency in ELA and math, and each school’s results in both subjects declined from the prior year.
Rosewood Park led the reported all-grades results: it scored 26% in ELA, 21% in math, and 19% in science, topping Bandini Elementary by 13, 6, and 6 percentage points, respectively. Still, Rosewood was 23 points below the state in ELA and 17 points below in math. Kirby Dorothy Camp had the lowest reported ELA and math results, at 6% and 0%. The elementary comparison is more mixed: Rosewood led in grades 3 and 4 in ELA and math, while Bandini led in grade 5 by 3 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 2 in science. Both elementary schools remained below state results in each matched grade and subject.
Results generally moved in the wrong direction: Rosewood’s ELA and math scores fell 7 points each, Bandini’s fell 4 and 5 points, and Kirby’s ELA fell 5 points while its math score stayed at 0%. State ELA was essentially flat, while state math rose 1 point. SchoolDigger percentile ranks also fell from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026 for Rosewood, from 28 to 6, and Bandini, from 17 to 4; Kirby rose from 0 to 3 but remains low.
