Summary:
Zip code 90732 has one listed high school, Ernest P. Willenberg Special Education Center, serving grade 12 only and enrolling 166 students. Its clearest concern is chronic absenteeism: in 2025–26, 31% of students were chronically absent, compared with 23% in Los Angeles Unified and 18% statewide—8 and 13 percentage points higher, respectively.
There is no top or bottom school among the listed schools because this is the only one; it leads and trails the local list by default, not through a comparison of results. The school’s older figures show a 0% graduation rate and 15% dropout rate in 2018–19. Those figures cannot be compared with newer school results: no school graduation or dropout rates are supplied for 2025–26. For context, the district’s 2025–26 graduation rate was 90%, 2 percentage points above the state’s 88%, while its 6% dropout rate was 2 points below the state’s 8%; those are district results, not results for this school. No school test scores or 2025–26 school graduation and dropout figures are provided, so those outcomes cannot be assessed against current peers or the state.
SchoolDigger’s historical school rankings shifted from 2,096 of 2,281 (8th percentile) in 2009–10 to 2,151 of 2,367 (9th percentile) in 2010–11, a 1-point increase in percentile; these old rankings do not establish the school’s current standing. SchoolDigger’s listed 3-star rating and rank of 450 out of 968 (54th percentile) are for the district, not the school. The school reports a 10:1 student–teacher ratio for 2024–25 and 83% eligible for free/reduced lunch that year. That income measure is useful context, but California’s statewide policy provides free meals to all students. The school also reports spending of $79,571 per student in 2023–24; the figures describe the school but do not show what accounts for its attendance results.
