Summary:
The 90064 zip code in Los Angeles, CA, is served by five public schools—three elementary, one middle, and one high school—offering a complete K-12 pathway within the Los Angeles Unified and local charter districts.
This area features a stark contrast in school performance, primarily between its highly-rated elementary schools and its struggling secondary schools. Overland Avenue Elementary is a standout, ranking among the top elementary schools in the state with exceptional test scores and very low student absenteeism, followed closely by the strong performance of Richland Avenue Elementary. However, the middle and high school options, Daniel Webster Middle and Magnolia Science Academy 4, face significant challenges, with test scores well below averages and some of the highest chronic absenteeism rates in the area.
Key takeaways for parents include a noticeable performance gap as students move from elementary to higher grades, and that higher school funding does not automatically mean better results here. The charter school, Citizens of the World Charter School Mar Vista, shows average performance. A strong link exists between regular attendance and academic success, with the top-performing schools having the fewest chronically absent students.
