Summary:
Zip code 91352 contains one middle school, Richard E. Byrd Middle, serving grades 6-8 within the Los Angeles Unified School District, providing a single public option for families in this area.
This school serves a large population of 933 students with significant economic need, as nearly 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, the school's test scores in English, math, and science are below both the district and state averages, with science scores showing the largest gap. However, there is a notable positive trend in English scores, which improve significantly by 8th grade. The school's ranking has remained relatively stable over the past few years, consistently placing in the lower-middle percentile of California schools.
Key factors for parents to consider include a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average and a student-teacher ratio of about 20-to-1. Despite the school spending a high amount per student, academic outcomes remain below average, suggesting families may want to inquire about how resources are used to support classroom learning and address attendance. The performance pattern indicates potential strengths in upper-grade English instruction that could be built upon.
