Summary

Fair Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in North Hollywood, California, serving 569 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 796 out of 1,565 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fair Avenue Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently underperforming on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 34.62% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 46.45% for Los Angeles Unified and 48.81% for California. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 30.8% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Fair Avenue Elementary has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

When compared to nearby schools, Fair Avenue Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates on state assessments. However, some nearby charter schools, such as ISANA Palmati Academy and Providencia Elementary (in the Burbank Unified School District), significantly outperform Fair Avenue Elementary and the district/state averages. Despite the high spending per student and relatively high student-teacher ratio at Fair Avenue Elementary, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages, suggesting potential issues with the effective allocation and utilization of resources.
