Summary

Addams Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 717 students in the Long Beach Unified School District, operating in a community where a high percentage of families face economic challenges.

The school's overall academic ranking has declined recently, but it has a significant and consistent strength: it is exceptionally effective in supporting its English Language Learner students, ranking in the top 18% of all California schools for that group. This success stands out compared to nearby schools with similar demographics, like Barton Elementary and Grant Elementary. However, the school faces challenges with chronic student absences and lower proficiency in science compared to English and math.

When looking at the area, there is a notable contrast between schools. Higher-performing schools like Los Cerritos Elementary and Longfellow Elementary serve fewer students in poverty. Addams achieves its results with a better student-teacher ratio than some neighbors and with less funding per student than schools like Madison Elementary. The school's progress in reducing absenteeism and its strong support for specific student groups are positive foundations for future improvement.
