Summary:
Zip code 90701 in Artesia, California, contains one public middle school, Faye Ross Middle, serving grades 7-8 within the ABC Unified School District.
Faye Ross Middle School serves 528 students and shows a mixed academic performance profile. Its students perform near or slightly above California state averages in English Language Arts but trail behind the higher averages of the ABC Unified district, particularly in mathematics and science. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, moving from the 71st percentile to the 62nd percentile. Despite this trend, the school operates with a per-student spending of over $20,000, which is a substantial investment.
Key areas for consideration include a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.4%, which is higher than the district average, and the fact that approximately two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's performance is most consistent with state expectations in English, indicating a potential area of strength to build upon for improvement in other subjects. For parents, this means the school is part of a well-regarded district but faces specific challenges in elevating student outcomes to match the district's overall performance level.
