Better than 17% of California elementary schools

Summary

Arlington Heights Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 308 students in the Los Angeles Unified School District, located in a neighborhood where nearby schools show dramatically different academic results.

This school faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are the lowest among all nearby schools and well below district and state averages. A major factor appears to be chronic absenteeism, with nearly 30% of students missing too much school, a rate more than double that of higher-performing neighbors like Queen Anne Place Elementary and Mid-City's Prescott School of Enriched Sciences. Despite receiving more funding per student than several of these higher-achieving schools, outcomes have remained persistently low, ranking in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools.

There are some signs of positive momentum, as the school has improved its state ranking from the 2nd to the 17th percentile over the last few years and has shown particular success with English Language Learners. However, the stark performance gap with other schools in the same area, such as Twenty-Fourth Street Elementary, highlights that addressing student attendance is likely a critical priority for unlocking further academic improvement at Arlington Heights.
