Summary:
Zip code 91335 has nine elementary schools serving kindergarten through fifth grade in Los Angeles Unified. In 2025–2026, the schools’ simple average proficiency was 45% in ELA, 41% in math, and 32% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%. Math is the group’s relative strength, but results differ widely across schools. The most important takeaway is that school-to-school differences are largest in science, where results ranged from 13% to 44%.
No one school leads in every subject: Shirley Avenue Elementary led ELA at 54%, 2 points above the next-highest school; Blythe Street Elementary led math at 47%, 3 points ahead; and Cantara Street Elementary led science at 44%, 4 points ahead. At the low end, Bertrand Avenue Elementary had the lowest results in all three subjects: 31% in ELA, 31% in math, and 13% in science. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ranking also placed Shirley highest among these schools at the 65th percentile and Bertrand lowest at the 28th.
Compared with 2024–2025, the school averages rose by 2 percentage points in ELA, 1 point in math, and 7 points in science; the science gap with the state narrowed from about 7 points to 4. Changes varied by school: Melvin Avenue Elementary improved in all three subjects, while Cantara Street Elementary had the largest science increase, 17 points, and Blythe had the largest decrease, 13 points. SchoolDigger’s percentile rose over three years at seven schools, including a 26-point gain for Shirley; it fell 13 points at Garden Grove Elementary and 4 at Newcastle Elementary. Ratios range from 18.4 students per teacher at Vanalden Avenue Elementary to 23.2 at Bertrand, but the figures do not point to a simple match between staffing, income measures, and scores.
