Summary:
The 90240 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and average-performing schools in the area, with Price (Maude) Elementary and Unsworth (Edith) Elementary standing out as the top-performing schools in the region.
Griffiths (Gordon) Middle and the two high-performing elementary schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, outpacing the Downey Unified district and the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. However, there is still room for improvement, particularly in Mathematics, across the schools in the 90240 zip code area.
The schools in this area face demographic challenges, with a predominantly Hispanic student population and a high percentage of students from low-income families. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates are relatively high, ranging from 21.6% to 29.8%. These socioeconomic factors may impact student learning and engagement, and targeted interventions and support programs could be beneficial in addressing these challenges and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students.
