Summary:
ZIP code 90710 has three high schools serving grades 9–12 in Los Angeles Unified: Nathaniel Narbonne Senior High, Humanities and Arts (HARTS) Academy of Los Angeles, and George S. Patton Continuation. English language arts (ELA) is the area’s relative strength, but the three-school average is below the state average in every tested subject: 42% versus 49% in ELA, 23% versus 38% in mathematics, and 21% versus 36% in science. The most important difference for families is that Patton’s proficiency results are far below those of the other two schools.
HARTS leads the group in 2025–26 all-grade results, with 61% proficient in ELA, 32% in mathematics, and 32% in science; its ELA result is 12 points above the state, while its mathematics and science results are 6 and 4 points below. Narbonne is in the middle at 57% in ELA, 29% in mathematics, and 23% in science. Patton is lowest, at 7% in ELA and mathematics and 6% in science; it trails Narbonne by 49 points in ELA, 22 in mathematics, and 17 in science. HARTS also reports a 97% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, but chronic absenteeism is 33%, higher than the district’s 23% and state’s 18%.
Recent results vary by school and subject: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, HARTS gained 2 points in ELA and 7 in science but fell 7 in mathematics; Narbonne’s ELA was nearly unchanged, while mathematics rose by less than 1 point and science by 1 point. SchoolDigger gives HARTS 3 stars and a 64th-percentile ranking, Narbonne 3 stars and the 53rd percentile, and Patton 1 star and the 12th percentile. Context also differs: in 2024–25, student-teacher ratios were 15.3 at HARTS, 19.3 at Narbonne, and 12.0 at Patton. The share eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25 was 81% at HARTS, 84% at Narbonne, and 95% at Patton; these figures describe the schools but do not explain their results.
