Are there good schools in Long Beach-Lakewood, California?

When determining if Long Beach-Lakewood, California, has good schools, we analyze key factors including math proficiency, reading/language proficiency, students-per-teacher ratio, average teacher salaries, National Blue Ribbon awards, Spelling Bee and STEM/non-STEM national competitions, and more.

Cities, towns, villages, and unincorporated county areas across the U.S. vary widely in size, and the region’s population determines the number of schools available. Big cities have a large number of schools to choose from, while small cities, towns, and villages may have no schools within their geographic boundaries. Since our PhD-Level data analysts are parents, too, we look at children's education through the eyes of a parent who is responsible for taking their kids to school even if it’s 20 miles from home because there are few schools nearby.

Dwellics school data analysis begins with determining whether there are schools within a city’s borders. If we find there are none, we research schools in neighboring locales to find the closest schools. The results you see show all the school options available and the distance they are from each city, town, village, or unincorporated county covered on our platform.
