In 2005, Hermosa Valley and Hermosa View schools received the U.S. Department of Education National Blue Ribbon School award for academic achievement along with approximately 300 schools in the United States, 33 of which were in California.[citation needed] Hermosa schools were among the top 10% of schools in the state, with students scoring at or above the 90% in the highest grade tested in reading and math.[citation needed] For the award, the Department of Education reviewed growth in scores over a three-year period.
The Hermosa Beach City School District as a whole received a score of 915[4] on the 2006 California Academic Performance Index, and neighboring Manhattan Beach Unified School District scored just below at 906,[5] making it one of California's best performing districts.
