Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 90706 include 15 schools: 10 elementary schools, three high schools serving grades 7–12, and two alternative schools, including a K–12 academy. In 2025–2026, elementary results averaged 42% in English Language Arts (ELA), 35% in math, and 24% in science; the three high schools averaged 37%, 15%, and 19%, respectively. The most important takeaway is that outcomes vary sharply by school, especially in science among elementary schools and across the high schools.

Intensive Learning Center leads elementary schools in ELA at 59% and science at 44%, while Stephen Foster Elementary leads in math at 51%. Those results are about 17 points and 20 points above the elementary averages for Intensive Learning Center, and 16 points above the math average for Foster. At the lower end, Washington Elementary has the lowest elementary ELA and math results, at 29% and 22%; Craig Williams Elementary is lowest in science at 4%. Among high schools, Mayfair High leads in all three subjects, with 52% ELA, 23% math, and 32% science. Somerset High is far behind at 5%, 3%, and 2%. Las Flores Home Education Independent Study Academy reports higher results—82% ELA, 68% math, and 51% science—but its K–12 alternative model makes it a separate comparison.

Recent results are mixed: elementary averages were essentially flat in ELA, rose about 1 point in math, and fell about 1 point in science from 2024–2025; high-school averages fell 3 points in ELA, were nearly flat in math, and rose 1 point in science. Intensive Learning Center improved in all subjects, while Foster’s science result dropped 28 points. SchoolDigger ranks Intensive Learning Center at the 72nd percentile and Washington at the 19th among elementary schools; Mayfair is at the 61st percentile and Somerset at the 4th among high schools. As context, free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–2025 were 62% at both Intensive Learning Center and Esther Lindstrom, 66% at Foster, and 91% at Washington; elementary student–teacher ratios ranged from 20.3 at Washington to 25.1 at Craig Williams. These figures do not by themselves explain school results. Las Flores and the small Bellflower Alternative Education Center are not direct peers of conventional elementary or high schools.
