Summary:
Zip code 90747 has one public high school, California Academy of Mathematics and Science, serving grades 9–12, with 673 students. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results are far above state results in every all-grade subject: 94% in English language arts (ELA) versus 49% statewide, 91% in mathematics versus 38%, and 90% in science versus 36%. The school’s largest state advantage is in science, at 54 percentage points; its ELA and mathematics advantages are 45 and 52 points. The most important takeaway is that proficiency is exceptionally high across all three subjects.
There is no meaningful school-to-school comparison because this is the only school in the ZIP-code list. It is therefore both the highest and lowest listed, rather than one of several schools that can be ranked against each other. It also exceeds Long Beach Unified by 43 points in ELA, 51 points in mathematics, and 59 points in science. Other reported outcomes are strong: the school’s graduation rate is 98%, compared with 88% statewide and 91% in the district; its dropout rate is 2%, about 6 points below both benchmarks. Chronic absenteeism is 6%, 13 points below the state and 20 points below the district. Because the list contains only one school, these figures cannot show how it compares with other local schools.
Results changed differently by subject from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA fell by 5 percentage points, mathematics by 4, and science rose by 3. As state results increased, the school’s advantage narrowed by 5 points in both ELA and mathematics, while its science advantage barely widened. SchoolDigger ranked the school 11th of 2,137 California schools, in the 99th percentile, with five stars for 2025–2026; its earlier ranks were 7th and 4th. The student–teacher ratio was 24.8:1 in 2024–2025. That year, 37% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible.
