Summary:
Zip code 91352 has one middle school, Richard E. Byrd Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 933 students in Los Angeles Unified. In 2025–2026, Byrd’s proficiency rates were below state rates in all three reported subjects: 38% in English language arts (ELA), 24% in mathematics and 24% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide. The largest shortfall is in mathematics: Byrd was 15 percentage points below the state.
There are no other listed schools to compare, so Byrd is neither a local top nor bottom performer relative to other schools. Within its results, ELA is the strongest subject by proficiency rate, while mathematics is the clearest weakness relative to benchmarks. Byrd’s ELA rate was 10 points below the district and 11 below the state; mathematics was 16 points below the district and 15 below the state; science was 8 points below the district and 12 below the state. Grade 8 had higher ELA and math proficiency than grade 6: 40% versus 35% in ELA and 26% versus 23% in math. Even so, grade 8 remained below state results in both subjects.
Recent results show a mixed picture: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Byrd’s science proficiency rose 4 percentage points, while ELA fell 1 point and mathematics fell 3 points; the state gap widened by 4 points in math and narrowed by 1 point in science. SchoolDigger reports a 2-star rating and a 35th-percentile statewide rank for 2025–2026, down from the 43rd percentile in 2023–2024. Context figures include a student–teacher ratio of 20.2 in 2024–2025 and 89% free/reduced lunch eligible that year; chronic absenteeism was 25% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 23% and the state’s 18%. With only one school listed, the data cannot show how Byrd compares with other local schools.
