Summary:

ZIP code 90303 has five schools: three elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. Four have 2025–2026 test results, while Environmental Charter Middle - Inglewood has results through 2024–2025. The most important takeaway is that results vary widely by school, and the current-year averages for the four schools with results remain below state levels in every subject.

Century Park Elementary is the current-year standout: it leads the four schools in ELA at 49%, math at 46% and science at 31%. Its ELA is about even with the state’s 49%, its math is 8 points above the state’s 38%, and its science is 5 points below the state’s 36%. Environmental Charter Middle led the five schools with 2024–2025 scores in ELA (50%) and math (39%), both about 1 point above the state, but has no current-year scores. At the lower end, Woodworth-Monroe Academy had the lowest current ELA result, 22%; Inglewood High had the lowest math (10%) and science (13%). Century’s results also vary by grade: its grade 4 ELA was 73%, compared with 38% in grade 5.

Across the same four schools with results in both years, average proficiency rose by 5 points in ELA, 4 in math and 4 in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and average gaps to the state narrowed in all three subjects; the averages nevertheless stayed below state results. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Century rose from 53 to 60 over that period, while Woodworth’s fell from 4 to 2. Other factors offer context, not a simple explanation of results: 2024–2025 student-teacher ratios ranged from 18.2 at Century to 26.9 at Bennett/Kew Leadership Academy of Excellence, and free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025 ranged from 89% at Environmental Charter to 98% at Century. Inglewood High also combines a 93% graduation rate with 51% chronic absenteeism, compared with 88% and 18% statewide.
