Best Public Schools in Zip Code 90065

Summary:

The 90065 zip code area of Los Angeles is home to 16 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a wide range of academic performance across these schools, with some standouts like Washington Irving Mid School Math Music and Engr Magnet and Renaissance Arts Academy performing exceptionally well, while others struggle to meet state and district averages.

Washington Irving Mid School Math Music and Engr Magnet and Renaissance Arts Academy stand out as top performers, with the former ranking in the top 25% of California middle schools and the latter boasting a 97.14% proficiency rate in both English Language Arts and Math for 11th graders. In contrast, Loreto Street Elementary and Glassell Park Elementary School Sci Technical Engr Arts and Math Magnet perform well below district and state averages.

The data also suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with higher percentages of low-income students, such as Alliance Tennenbaum Family Technology High with a 97.56% free/reduced lunch rate, tend to have lower test scores and other metrics. However, the presence of high-performing public charter schools, like Renaissance Arts Academy and Alliance Leichtman-Levine FAM Foundation Env Sci High, indicates that school choice can play a role in providing quality educational opportunities for students in the 90065 area.
