Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 90247 include seven schools: five elementary schools serving kindergarten through grade five and two middle schools serving grades six through eight. The clearest area-wide concern is science: the elementary-school average was 25% proficient in 2025–2026, 11 points below the state, and Robert E. Peary Middle was 15 points below the state.

At the elementary level, Amestoy Elementary led in math at 53%, 15 points above the state, while Denker Avenue Elementary led in ELA at 51%, 2 points above the state. At the other end, One Hundred Fifty-Third Street Elementary had the lowest elementary science result, 11%—25 points below the state and 23 points below the next-lowest elementary school; its math score was 29%, also below the state. Peary was below the state in ELA, math, and science by 13, 13, and 15 points, respectively. In the latest year both middle schools have scores, 2024–2025, Environmental Charter Middle - Gardena scored 7 points higher than Peary in ELA, 12 higher in math, and 1 higher in science, though both schools were below the state in all three subjects.

Recent trends differ by school: One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Street Elementary improved in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, including a 10-point math gain, while One Hundred Fifty-Third Street fell in all three, including an 8-point science decline. Denker’s ELA rose 7 points even as its math and science scores fell. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking rose 11 points for Amestoy and One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Street and 9 for Denker from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, but slipped 1 point for One Hundred Fifty-Third Street. Context measures do not neatly track results: in 2024–2025, Denker and One Hundred Fifty-Third Street were both about 80% or more free/reduced lunch eligible, yet their scores differed substantially; Denker and Gardena Elementary also shared a 20.9 student-teacher ratio while Denker scored higher in every subject.
