Summary:

Six elementary schools in zip code 90260 serve kindergarten through grade 5, and their 2025–26 results show a mixed picture compared with California: the schools’ average was 48% in ELA, 41% in math and 31% in science, versus 49%, 38% and 36% statewide. Math was strongest relative to the state, while science lagged most. The most important finding is that results differ substantially between nearby schools, so the area-wide averages hide a wide gap.

Mark Twain Elementary stands out at the top, leading all three subjects with 62% in ELA, 60% in math and 43% in science. Those results were 17, 23 and 15 percentage points above the averages of the other five schools; Twain also exceeded state results by 13, 22 and 7 points, respectively. At the other end, F. D. Roosevelt Elementary ranked last in all three subjects, at 30% in ELA, 22% in math and 21% in science. It trailed the other schools’ averages by 21, 24 and 12 points, and was below the state by 19, 17 and 15 points. Among the remaining schools, William Anderson Elementary was above the state in all three subjects; Lucille J. Smith Elementary had the strongest math result among the other five.

Average results rose modestly from 2024–25 to 2025–26—by about 1 point in ELA, 2 in math and 1 in science—but the area’s relative position did not improve in every subject: it moved closer to the state in ELA and fell farther behind in science. Individual trends varied: William Green Elementary’s math result rose 11 points, and its SchoolDigger statewide percentile improved from 36 to 56; Roosevelt’s science result rose 8 points, even as its percentile fell from 39 to 19. As context, free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–25 were about 66% at Twain and 91% at Roosevelt; Anderson was also around 90% and was above the state in all three subjects. These measures describe the schools, but do not explain their results.
