Summary:

Schools in zip code 91606 include five K–5 elementary schools and one middle school serving grades 6–8, all part of Los Angeles Unified. The elementary schools average 44% proficiency in math, above the state’s 38%, but average 43% in ELA and 24% in science, below state results of 49% and 36%. The clearest takeaway is that John B. Monlux Elementary is the strongest elementary-school performer, while science is a shared challenge.

Monlux leads the elementary schools in ELA at 59% and math at 56%, respectively 9 and 18 percentage points above the state. Its results are also 19 points above the other four elementary schools’ average in ELA and 16 points above in math. At the other end, Bellingham Elementary has the lowest elementary results in ELA (36%), math (37%) and grade-5 science (13%); its science result is 22 points below the state. Victory Boulevard Elementary has the best elementary science result, 33%, but remains 2 points below the state. Roy Romer Middle is below the state in all three subjects, including science by 19 points.

Recent changes are mixed: the elementary-school average rose 1 point in math but fell 4 points in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026; Oxnard Street Elementary math rose 12 points, while Bellingham science fell 10. SchoolDigger ranks Monlux at the 73rd percentile and Bellingham at the 40th; Victory declined from the 62nd to the 54th percentile over three years. As context, in 2024–2025 all five elementary schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible, ranging from 88% at Monlux to 97% at Bellingham; these figures do not explain achievement differences. Chronic absenteeism also varies: Monlux was at 10%, below the state’s 18%, while four elementary schools ranged from 24% to 30%.
