Summary:

High schools in ZIP code 90065 include two schools serving grades 6–12: Sotomayor Arts and Sciences Magnet and Alliance Leichtman-Levine FF High. The latest year with test scores for both is 2024–2025. The clearest finding is that Alliance’s reported proficiency was substantially higher than Sotomayor’s in all three subjects.

Alliance is the test-score standout: in 2024–2025, its proficiency was 85% in English language arts (ELA), 53% in math and 54% in science, compared with 48%, 29% and 22% at Sotomayor. Alliance led by 37 percentage points in ELA, 24 in math and 32 in science, and scored 36, 16 and 21 points above state results in those subjects. Sotomayor was below the state in all three. It has a different strength in its reported 2025–2026 outcomes: graduation was 98% versus 88% statewide, and dropout was 1% versus 8%; however, chronic absenteeism was higher, at 24% versus 18%.

The schools’ reported trends offer different context for families. Sotomayor’s ELA proficiency rose 3 percentage points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while math fell 4 points and science was nearly unchanged; its results moved farther below the state on average. SchoolDigger’s rankings also diverged: Alliance rose from the 78th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 94th in 2024–2025, while Sotomayor fell from the 65th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 43rd in 2025–2026. Enrollment and student–teacher ratios were 296 and 15.8:1 at Alliance, and 517 and 16.1:1 at Sotomayor. Both reported free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025: 87% at Alliance and 95% at Sotomayor. These figures describe different school contexts but do not explain the test-score differences; Alliance’s 2025–2026 test scores were not supplied.
