Summary:
The 90806 zip code area of Long Beach, California is home to 4 elementary schools: Lafayette Elementary, Robinson Academy, Bobbie Smith Elementary, and Birney Elementary. These schools serve students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across all campuses.
Among the 4 schools, Birney Elementary stands out as the highest performer, with the strongest academic outcomes on state assessments and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, the other schools lag behind Birney and the district/Long Beach Unified averages in most subject areas. Factors like high student-teacher ratios and significant achievement gaps between the schools suggest systemic challenges that need to be addressed to provide more equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 90806 zip code.
Overall, the data reveals a mix of performance across the 4 elementary schools, with Birney Elementary as the clear standout. However, the high rates of economic disadvantage, chronic absenteeism, and uneven academic outcomes across the schools indicate that students in this area face significant barriers to success that require targeted interventions and support.
