Summary:

San Pedro’s 90731 ZIP code has 13 schools: eight elementary, one middle and four high schools, including a continuation school and a community-day school. The results show a notably uneven group, with substantial differences among schools and subjects. The clearest current standout is Point Fermin Elementary, which led in all three tested subjects.

In 2025–26, Point Fermin scored 72% in ELA, 68% in math and 65% in science—23, 30 and 29 percentage points above state results, respectively. Taper Avenue Elementary was second in ELA at 65% and scored 59% in math; Bandini Street Elementary was second in math at 62%. At the low end, William J. Johnston Community Day reported 0% in all three subjects, while Angel’s Gate reported 25% ELA, 16% math and 18% science. Their chronic absenteeism was also high: 75% at Johnston and 72% at Angel’s Gate, compared with 18% statewide. Port of Los Angeles High had no 2025–26 test scores; in 2024–25, its ELA result was 89%, about 40 points above the state.

Across the same 12 schools with results in both years, unweighted averages rose by 2 points in ELA, 3 in math and 7 in science from 2024–25 to 2025–26, though individual schools moved in different directions. Fifteenth Street Elementary made strong gains—15 points in ELA, 15 in math and 18 in science—while White Point Elementary fell 7 points in ELA and 9 in science. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Fifteenth Street climbed from 29 to 62 over three years. Among elementary schools, the reported free/reduced lunch eligible measure for 2024–25 was 39% at White Point, 61% at Point Fermin, and about 96% at both Fifteenth Street and Barton Hill Elementary; these are context figures, not explanations for results. Grade spans and school types differ, so results are not always direct comparisons.
