Summary:
Zip code 90504 has eight schools in Torrance Unified: five elementary schools serving K–5, two middle schools serving grades 6–8, and one high school serving grades 9–12. All eight schools’ 2025–2026 All Grades results are above their corresponding state results in ELA, math, and science. But that broad strength hides weaker grade-level results: Yukon Elementary grade 4 ELA is 4 percentage points below the state, and Philip Magruder Middle grade 8 math is just below it—so families should look beyond overall scores to the grades and subjects that matter to them.
Standout results vary by school and subject. North High leads All Grades ELA at 88%, 39 percentage points above the state, and science at 59%; its grade 11 ELA is 31 points above the state. Arlington Elementary leads elementary All Grades math at 73% and science at 60%; Casimir Middle leads Magruder in all three All Grades subjects by 14 points in ELA, 16 in math, and 9 in science. Magruder has the group’s lowest All Grades ELA and math scores (55% and 42%), while Evelyn Carr Elementary has the lowest science score (46%). SchoolDigger ranks North at the 94th percentile and Casimir at the 88th percentile among their school types.
Science improved most overall, but results were not uniform. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the schools’ unweighted average rose 5 percentage points in science and 2 in ELA, while math was essentially flat; Lincoln Elementary fell in all three subjects, by 7 points in ELA, 8 in math, and 5 in science, despite remaining above state results. Context also differs: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 44% at Casimir and 51% at Magruder, and their student-teacher ratios were 25.5 and 27.2, respectively. These figures describe the schools but do not explain their score differences.
