Summary:
ZIP code 90744 has one listed middle school: Wilmington Mid Sci Technical Engr Arts Math (STEAM) Magnet, in Wilmington, serving grades 6–8 with 1,121 students. Because there is only one school in the list, families can compare it with district and state results, but not with another middle school in the ZIP code. The main takeaway is that scores improved in all three subjects, yet the school remains below state results in ELA, math and science, with the widest gap in science.
No school stands out as a local top or bottom performer; the sole listed school scored below the state and Los Angeles Unified in all three subjects in 2025–26. It came closest to the state in ELA: 46% proficient, compared with 49% statewide, a 3-point gap; it was 34% in math versus 38% statewide, a 4-point gap; and 26% in science versus 36% statewide, a 10-point gap. Grade results show some important variation: 7th-grade ELA was nearly even with the state, at 50.3% versus 50.6% (less than 1 point lower), while 7th-grade math was 31% versus 38%, a 7-point gap.
Recent progress is strongest in ELA: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, the school’s results rose 7 points in ELA, 2 in math and 3 in science. Its ELA gap with the state narrowed from 9 points to 3, while its science gap remained about 10 points. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and ranks it 1,264th of 2,703 schools, in the 53rd percentile; its percentile rose 6 points from 2024–25. Chronic absenteeism is another concern: 25% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, compared with 23% districtwide and 18% statewide. As student-population context, 95% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25.
