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 66.4/100 — 27.5 points above the state average, with 8 of 8 in the Strong band.
8 elementary schools span 14 points around an average of 66.4.
Tulita Elementary (74/100) holds the Strong band — 52.4% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 48.5%. 1 school here ranks as a Growth Engine — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.
What these numbers can't see: class sizes, arts, teacher turnover, how a hallway feels at 8 a.m. Strong scores are the start of the question, not the answer.
The middle years
The middle schools average 54.9/100 — 16.4 points above the state average, with 1 of 2 in the Strong band.
2 middle schools span 14 points around an average of 54.9.
Adams Middle (62/100) holds the Strong band — 38.9% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 36.1%.
Only 2 campuses at this level — one school's year moves every number in this chapter.
The high school years
One school defines the top: Redondo Union High sits 41 points clear of the field — the other 1 high schools are a different conversation.
41 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 2 high schools — the average hides more than it tells.
1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.
Redondo Union High (76/100) holds the Strong band — 36.4% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 19.4%. 1 school classifies as Strong All-Around — no weak dimension we measure.
41 points separate the top and bottom high schools — the district average won't predict the school in front of you.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Tulita Elementary at 74/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
No charters or magnets among the ranked schools here, so the main lever is an intra-district transfer — California districts run them on their own windows and criteria. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, ask the district office for this year's dates.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — 1 campus here ranks as Growth Engine, its returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.

What this page can't see: whether a campus feels safe and glad at 8 a.m. If a path above looks workable, the next step is a visit.
