Summary:
The 90712 zip code area is home to 9 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades across three different school districts: Bellflower Unified, Long Beach Unified, and Paramount Unified. While the area has a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, a few standouts emerge, including Stephen Foster Elementary and Madison Elementary, which rank in the top 25% of California elementary schools. The data also highlights the Odyssey STEM Academy, a high school with an exceptional 99% graduation rate and strong academic performance.
However, the data reveals significant disparities in student achievement across the 90712 zip code. Several schools struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates, which tend to correlate with higher percentages of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This suggests issues of equity and access to quality education within the community. Addressing these gaps will be crucial for ensuring all students in the 90712 area have the opportunity to succeed.
Overall, the data paints a complex picture of the educational landscape in the 90712 zip code, with both high-performing and underperforming schools. While standout institutions like Stephen Foster Elementary and Odyssey STEM Academy demonstrate the potential for excellence, the persistent achievement gaps and high rates of chronic absenteeism at other schools highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students in the community.
