Best Public Schools in Zip Code 90245

The 90245 zip code area is home to a diverse set of 9 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 6 high schools (4 of which are charter schools), and 1 continuation high school. These schools are part of the El Segundo Unified School District, except for the 4 charter high schools which have their own districts.

The standout schools in this area are El Segundo High School, ranked 163 out of 2,335 California high schools with a 5-star rating, and Da Vinci Science High School, ranked 87 out of 2,335 and also with a 5-star rating. These schools boast exceptional graduation rates, low dropout rates, and very high test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. The two elementary schools, Center Street Elementary and Richmond Street Elementary, also stand out with 5-star ratings and over 70% proficiency in ELA and Math.

While the schools in the 90245 zip code generally perform at a high level, the data reveals some areas of concern. The Da Vinci RISE High charter school and the Arena High (Continuation) school have significantly lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and much higher chronic absenteeism compared to their peers. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by students in these alternative education settings.
