Summary:
Zip code 90047 has 12 schools: five elementary, one middle and six high schools, serving students from elementary through high school. Most current test results are from 2025–2026, though some schools have results only for 2024–2025. The most important finding is that school results vary widely, so an area-wide average would hide major differences between schools.
Middle College High stands out at the top: in 2025–2026, it had the highest reported results in all three subjects, with 85% proficient in ELA, 56% in math and 54% in science. Those results were 36, 18 and 18 percentage points above the state, respectively. At the other end, Ellington (Duke) High (Continuation) had the lowest reported ELA result, 9%—40 points below the state. Horace Mann UCLA Community had the lowest reported math result, 9% (29 points below the state), while Invictus Leadership Academy had the lowest science result, 4% (32 points below).
Recent progress is uneven: George Washington Preparatory High raised math proficiency from 18% to 52% between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, a 34-point increase, though its ELA remained below the state. SchoolDigger ranked Middle College in the 92nd percentile in 2025–2026; its rankings also show gains for TEACH Prep Mildred S. Cunningham & Edith H. Morris Elementary (from the 1st to 42nd percentile) and Invictus (from the 0th to 31st). Enrollment and student-teacher ratios do not neatly predict results: Middle College enrolled 361 students with a 21.5 student-teacher ratio, while George Washington Preparatory enrolled 738. For 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 80% at Invictus and 97% at George Washington Preparatory; TEACH Academy of Technologies, TEACH Prep and Ellington instead reported directly certified for free meals—65%, 69% and 72%, respectively—so those measures are not directly comparable.
