Summary:

ZIP code 90044 has 21 schools—12 elementary, four middle and five high schools—serving children from the primary grades through high school. In 2025–26, the average school result was 35% proficient in English language arts (ELA), 29% in math and 19% in science, compared with California averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding is how uneven results are: school scores span 56 points in ELA, 49 in math and 38 in science, so the school a child attends matters greatly.

Several schools stand out in different subjects. Ednovate – South LA College Prep led ELA at 70%, 21 percentage points above the state; Figueroa Street Elementary led math at 56%, 18 points above the state; and Gil Garcetti Learning Academy led science at 38%, about 2 points above the state. At the other end, Youth Opportunities Unlimited had the lowest results in all three subjects: 14% in ELA, 7% in math and 0% in science. Figueroa’s fourth graders also stood out, reaching 69% in ELA and 74% in math, versus state results of 46% and 42% for that grade.

Overall results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26: average school gains were 2 points in ELA, 4 in math and 4 in science, though averages remained below state levels. Progress was not universal: Youth declined in all three subjects, while Ednovate gained 19 points in ELA and 21 in math. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking for Woodcrest Elementary rose from 25 to 46 between 2023–24 and 2025–26, while Vox Collegiate of Los Angeles fell from 57 to 41; these rankings show relative standing, not proficiency-score changes. Other figures offer context rather than explanations: in 2024–25, Figueroa reported 65% directly certified for free meals, while student-teacher ratios were 20.0 there and 10.4 at Youth, despite their sharply different results.
