Summary

Aragon Avenue Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 205 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, located in a community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school has made significant long-term progress, moving from the bottom 5% of California elementary schools a decade ago to the 31st percentile today, and has achieved a dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, now at 18%. It shows a particular strength in serving special education students, ranking above the state average for that subgroup. However, academic performance in core subjects like English, math, and especially science remains below both district and state averages, and its statewide ranking places it in the lower third of schools. Performance varies notably by grade, with 4th grade showing the strongest results and 5th grade facing the biggest challenges.

When compared to nearby schools like Glassell Park Elementary and Mt. Washington Elementary, Aragon Avenue spends the most per student ($33,039) but has lower test scores. There is a clear pattern among local schools where those with the highest levels of economic need, such as Aragon, Glassell Park, and Loreto Street Elementary, face greater academic challenges, while schools with lower need levels, like Mt. Washington and Elysian Heights Elementary, tend to have higher rankings.
