Best Public Schools in Zip Code 91040

Summary:

The 91040 zip code area in California is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school. Based on the available data, Apperson Street Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with strong academic results and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the schools in the 91040 zip code area serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Apperson Street Elementary has managed to outperform the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Sunland Elementary and Mt. Gleason Middle have lower test scores, particularly in Mathematics, suggesting a need for improvement in their instructional practices and support for students.

The high chronic absenteeism rates across the schools in the 91040 zip code area are a concern and may be an area for further investigation and intervention. Addressing attendance issues could potentially lead to improved academic outcomes for all students in the Los Angeles Unified district.
