Summary:
ZIP code 90716 has one listed middle school, Fedde (Pharis F.) Middle, serving grades 7–8 and enrolling 291 students. Its latest reported test results are for 2025–2026. The most important finding for parents is that Fedde’s all-grades proficiency rates trail California’s in ELA, math, and science, with the largest shortfall in science.
There is no meaningful top-to-bottom school comparison because Fedde is the only school listed; it is both the highest and lowest by default. Compared with California, Fedde is behind by 13 percentage points in ELA, 6 points in math, and 17 points in science. Math is its strongest subject relative to the state, while science is its clearest academic concern. Grade 8 math is a notable exception: Fedde is about 1 point above the state, while its grade 7 math result is 9 points below. Compared with ABC Unified, Fedde is behind by 27 points in ELA, 21 in math, and 30 in science.
Results improved over the two years reported, and Fedde’s gaps with California narrowed in all three subjects. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Fedde gained 2 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 8 in science; the state’s gains were less than 1 point, 1 point, and 3 points, respectively. The school’s gap narrowed by 1 point in ELA, 5 in math, and 4 in science, though it still trails the state in every all-grades subject. SchoolDigger places Fedde at the 39th percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 34th percentile the year before but below its 41st-percentile standing in 2023–2024. As context, 92% of Fedde students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 22%, compared with 18% statewide and 12% in the district. These indicators do not establish what caused the test results.
