Summary:
In the San Pedro area (zip code 90732), there are four public schools within the Los Angeles Unified district: three elementary schools and one specialized high school serving only grade 12.
Among the elementary schools, Park Western Place Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide and showing strong, consistent improvement in test scores and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate. The other two elementary schools, South Shores/CSUDH Visual and Performing Arts and Seventh Street Elementary Arts Integration Magnet, also perform solidly and share a focus on arts education, with South Shores having a notably lower rate of economic need among its students.
The Ernest P. Willenberg Special Education Center is a unique high school providing specialized services for students with disabilities, which is reflected in its significantly higher per-student funding and much smaller class sizes. Overall, the elementary schools in this area show a positive trend of improving rankings, and they generally outperform the broader district averages in key subjects like math and science.
