Summary:

Zip code 90706 has 10 K–6 elementary schools, all in Bellflower Unified. In 2025–2026, the schools’ average proficiency was 42% in English language arts (ELA), 35% in math and 24% in science, compared with California averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. Five schools were above the state rate in math, while only two were above it in ELA and two in science. Results also varied widely between schools: the score range was 30 percentage points in ELA, 29 in math and 39 in science. The most important finding is that nearby school options differ substantially, particularly in science.

Intensive Learning Center led in ELA, at 59%, and science, at 44%—9 and 8 points above the state rates, respectively. Stephen Foster Elementary led in math at 51%, 13 points above the state rate, and ranked second in ELA at 58%; however, its science result was 19%, 17 points below the state. At the lower end, Washington Elementary had the lowest ELA and math results, at 29% and 22%, while Craig Williams Elementary had the lowest science result, at 4%. The science gap between Craig Williams and Intensive Learning Center was 39 points.

Recent changes were mixed: across the schools, average ELA was nearly flat, while math and science each rose by about a point; meanwhile, the state improved faster, widening the group’s average gap in all three subjects. Foster’s science result fell 28 points from the prior year, while Albert Baxter Elementary rose 15 points in science but fell 8 in math. SchoolDigger’s rank percentile for Intensive Learning Center rose from 63 in 2023–2024 to 72 in 2025–2026, while Esther Lindstrom Elementary fell from 58 to 45. As context, all schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible (FRL) for 2024–2025, with shares ranging from 62% to 91%; Intensive Learning Center and Lindstrom each reported 62%, yet their proficiency differed by 15 points in ELA, 16 in math and 25 in science. Reported student–teacher ratios ranged from 20.3 at Washington to 25.1 at Craig Williams; these background figures do not form a simple pattern with results.
