Better than 12% of California elementary schools

Summary

Los Angeles Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 406 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, operating in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, currently ranking in the bottom 12% of all California elementary schools, which is a notable decline from its performance a decade ago. Key areas of concern include a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average and very low proficiency in science, at only 12.5%. Interestingly, the school spends more per student ($31,302) than most nearby schools, such as Magnolia Avenue Elementary ($24,758) and Wilshire Park Elementary ($27,193), yet achieves lower academic results, creating a puzzle for the community.

Comparisons with neighboring schools reveal that challenges are not inevitable. For instance, Twenty-Fourth Street Elementary, which serves a very similar student population, ranks in the 64th percentile and has a much lower absenteeism rate. The school's math scores also show a steep drop-off between third and fifth grade, suggesting a need for better curriculum support. The key takeaway for parents is that while Los Angeles Elementary serves a community with significant needs, other schools in the immediate area demonstrate that strong outcomes are possible, indicating room for focused improvement in resource use and academic programs.
