Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
The elementary schools average 28.9/100 — 9.9 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
5 elementary schools span 15 points around an average of 28.9.
California Pacific Charter- Los Angeles is the strongest option at 37/100 — 19.5% of its students exceed the state standard.
2 of 5 elementary schools sit in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.
The middle years
The middle schools average 26.5/100 — 12.1 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
All 3 middle schools land within 5 points — the average is a fair summary here.

What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. Every ranked elementary school here is a charter or magnet, so the application matters more than the address — see the next card.
11 of the 13 ranked schools are charters — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
