Summary:
ZIP code 90301 has three elementary schools: Oak Street and Beulah Payne STEAM Academy serve kindergarten through grade 8, while ICEF Inglewood Elementary Charter Academy serves kindergarten through grade 5. In the fairest full-group comparison, 2024–2025, ICEF had the strongest English language arts (ELA) and math results, while Oak Street led in science. The clearest overall finding is that ICEF stood out in ELA and math, but not across every subject.
ICEF had 53% proficient in ELA and 44% in math, compared with 31% and 16% at Oak Street and 30% and 18% at Beulah Payne; ICEF’s results were 14 points above the other two schools’ average in ELA and 27 points above it in math. It also exceeded the state results in those subjects by 4 and 7 points. Oak Street led science at 20%, narrowly ahead of Beulah Payne at 19%, while ICEF had 11%; all three were below the state’s 33%. Beulah Payne had the lowest ELA score. Across the three schools, the widest gap between schools was in math: 29 points.
Results declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 at both schools with scores for both years: Oak Street fell 1 point in ELA, 2 in math, and 7 in science; Beulah Payne fell 7, 2, and 9 points, respectively, while state results rose in all three subjects. SchoolDigger reported ICEF at the 59th percentile in 2024–2025, versus the 16th percentile for Oak Street and 10th for Beulah Payne in 2025–2026; those ranking years differ. In 2024–2025, free/reduced-lunch-eligible shares were 93% at Oak Street, 94% at Beulah Payne, and 96% at ICEF; student-teacher ratios were 25.8, 24.7, and 23.4, respectively. One comparison limit is that ICEF has no 2025–2026 scores, and its shorter grade span makes all-grades results less directly comparable with the other schools.
