Summary:
ZIP code 90057 has seven listed schools—five elementary, one middle and one high—serving families in a mix of grade levels. Six schools have 2024–2025 test results, while current 2025–2026 results are available for three elementary schools. Lafayette Park Primary Center has no supplied test scores, and the schools serve different grades, so broad comparisons are snapshots. The clearest area-wide concern is science: the three elementary schools with current results averaged 18% proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 36% statewide, an 18-point gap.
Charles White Elementary led the three schools with current results in all subjects, at 43% in ELA, 46% in math and 23% in science. MacArthur Park Elementary School for the Visual and Perf Arts had the lowest results: 34% in ELA, 26% in math and 11% in science. Charles White’s leads over MacArthur Park were 8 points in ELA, 20 in math and 12 in science. In the broader 2024–2025 snapshot, Rise Kohyang Middle led ELA and science, while Charles White led math; Equitas Collegiate High had the lowest math result.
Across the three elementary schools with back-to-back scores, ELA and math moved closer to state results from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while science fell farther behind: the average science gap widened from 13 to 18 points. Individual trends differed; for example, Union Avenue Elementary math rose 12 points, while Charles White math fell 4 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Rise Kohyang rose from 48 to 62 between 2022–2023 and 2024–2025, while Equitas Collegiate’s fell from 55 to 41. Charles White had a 16.6 student-teacher ratio, compared with 21.8 at Union Avenue and 21.1 at MacArthur Park; Equitas had a lower ratio of 11.3 but below-state results in all three 2024–2025 subjects. Income measures are not directly comparable: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 94% at Union Avenue and 98% at MacArthur Park, while Charles White’s directly certified for free meals figure was 55%.
