Summary:
ZIP code 90049 has three elementary schools, all serving kindergarten through fifth grade in Los Angeles Unified. Their 2025–2026 results show a wide gap between schools: Community Magnet Charter Elementary and Kenter Canyon Elementary Charter have high proficiency across subjects, while Brentwood Science is lower overall. The most striking concern for families comparing grade levels is Brentwood’s fourth-grade results, which fall below state results in both ELA and math.
Community Magnet leads the group in ELA at 89% and math at 84%; it is ahead of Kenter by 5 percentage points in ELA and 2 points in math. Kenter leads in science, with 85% proficient—8 points above Community Magnet. Brentwood is lowest in all three all-grades subjects, at 54% in ELA, 47% in math, and 47% in science, though those results are still above state percentages by 4, 9, and 11 points, respectively. Its fourth-grade ELA result is 33% and math is 28%, respectively 13 and 15 points below the state; its third- and fifth-grade results in both subjects are above state.
Results improved in most subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, with science gains at all three schools: 21 points at Kenter, 7 at Community Magnet, and 9 at Brentwood. ELA also rose at each school; math improved at Kenter and Brentwood but slipped by less than a point at Community Magnet. SchoolDigger ranked Community Magnet 48th, Kenter 94th, and Brentwood 1,883rd among California schools in 2025–2026. Context differs too: 2024–2025 student–teacher ratios were 23.6 at Community Magnet, 21.5 at Kenter, and 18.6 at Brentwood; the reported free/reduced lunch eligible measure for school year 2024–2025 was 25%, 13%, and 80%, respectively. These figures describe different school and grade cohorts over time; the science results match fifth-grade results.
