Summary:

This analysis covers 13 public schools in the San Pedro, CA area (zip code 90731), serving about 7,500 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with most schools belonging to the Los Angeles Unified district.

The standout school is Port of Los Angeles High, a charter school with exceptional English proficiency and a very high graduation rate. Among elementary schools, Point Fermin Elementary, White Point Elementary, and Taper Avenue Elementary are the top performers, while Barton Hill Elementary faces significant academic challenges. The sole middle school, Richard Henry Dana Middle, has below-average test scores and high chronic absenteeism.

Schools serving vulnerable students, like William J. Johnston Community Day and Angel's Gate (Continuation), have very low graduation and proficiency rates alongside extremely high chronic absenteeism. There is a wide range in school performance and per-student spending across the area, with some of the highest-spending schools having the lowest outcomes, indicating that how resources are used is as important as how much is spent.
