Summary:
ZIP code 90813 has four Roosevelt Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Whittier Elementary and Jenny Oropeza Elementary schools, all in Long Beach Unified and serving kindergarten through grade 5. Their 2025–2026 results show notable differences between schools, rather than one consistent picture across the area. Most importantly, Lincoln is the only school above state proficiency in both ELA and math, while all four are below the state in science.
Lincoln led all three subjects, with 52% proficient in ELA, 53% in math and 26% in science. Its ELA and math results were about 3 and 14 percentage points above state results, and its scores were about 26 and 29 points above the other three schools’ average in those subjects. At the other end, Whittier had the lowest ELA and math results, at 20% and 19%; Roosevelt had the lowest science result, at 12%. Those results were about 29 points below the state in ELA and 19 below in math at Whittier, and 24 below in science at Roosevelt. SchoolDigger ranked Lincoln highest among the four, at the 66th percentile statewide, versus 26th for Jenny Oropeza, 17th for Roosevelt and 13th for Whittier.
The four-school averages fell from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA went from 39% to 33%, math from 33% to 31%, and science from 21% to 20%, while state results rose or held roughly steady. Lincoln improved in ELA and math, but the group’s overall decline was driven by drops at the other schools, especially Whittier’s 12-point ELA decline. SchoolDigger’s ranking percentile rose 12 points for Lincoln from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while it fell 16 for Roosevelt, 2 for Whittier and 20 for Jenny Oropeza. School context differs too: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures ranged from 80% at Jenny Oropeza to 89% at Roosevelt; student-teacher ratios ranged from 22.3 at Whittier to 25.7 at Roosevelt. Chronic absenteeism was above the state’s 18% at all four schools, ranging from 30% at Whittier to 38% at Jenny Oropeza.
