Summary:

ZIP code 90065 has 13 schools: 7 elementary, 3 middle, 2 high and 1 alternative, with the newest test results from 2025–2026 for 10 schools and from 2024–2025 for the other three. In the 10-school 2025–2026 snapshot, average proficiency was 52% in ELA and 42% in math, compared with 49% and 38% statewide; science averaged 35%, just below the state’s 36%. Results vary sharply from school to school: the highest-to-lowest spread is 46 points in ELA, 49 in math and 55 in science. The most important takeaway is that ZIP-wide averages hide very different school-level results.

Mt. Washington Elementary leads the 2025–2026 all-grades results, with 77% in ELA, 73% in math and 69% in science; Delevan Drive Elementary follows at 74%, 71% and 61%. Mt. Washington’s lead over Delevan is 3 points in ELA, 2 in math and 8 in science. At the lower end, Aragon Avenue Elementary has the lowest ELA score at 31%, while Fletcher Drive Elementary has the lowest math and science scores, at 23% and 14%. Among middle schools, Washington Irving Mid School Math Music and Engr Magnet leads the listed schools in grades 6–8 ELA and math; its grade 8 ELA score is 59%, versus 51% at Florence Nightingale Middle. Renaissance Arts Academy also reports high scores—84% ELA, 91% math and 91% science—but its latest data are from 2024–2025, so those figures are not a direct comparison with the newer results.

Across the same 10 schools, average scores rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 by 2 points in ELA, 4 in math and 4 in science, though some results moved the other way: Sotomayor Arts and Sciences Magnet math fell 4 points, and Loreto Street Elementary science fell 8. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranks rose over three years at Loreto, from the 24th to the 48th percentile, and at Glassell Park Elementary School Sci Technical Engr Arts and Math Magnet, from the 20th to the 40th; Fletcher Drive Elementary declined from the 36th to the 27th. As context, schools’ reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–2025 range from 18% at Mt. Washington and 39% at Delevan to 97% at Fletcher Drive and 92% at Loreto; these figures describe the schools and do not explain their results.
