Summary

Ford Boulevard Elementary is a K-5 public school in the Los Angeles Unified school district, serving 722 students in a high-need area of Los Angeles (90022) and showing a remarkable, consistent upward trend in its statewide ranking over the past several years.

The school stands out for its strong mathematics performance, particularly in the early grades where it outperforms both district and state averages, and for its dramatic improvement in student attendance. It is exceptionally effective with its student population, as shown by its high statewide rankings for Hispanic and low-income students, which are significantly better than nearby schools like Eastman Avenue Elementary and Rowan Avenue Elementary. Compared to schools in the neighboring Montebello Unified district, such as Winter Gardens Elementary and Bandini Elementary, Ford Boulevard performs much better despite similar demographics, which may be related to its higher per-student funding.

While the school is a clear success story, it faces a specific challenge with a noticeable drop in test scores in the 5th grade. An interesting comparison is with the charter school KIPP Raices Academy, which has higher math scores but serves a slightly lower-need population and has a higher chronic absenteeism rate. Overall, Ford Boulevard Elementary demonstrates how focused strategies and resources can lead to significant improvement, making it a standout option in its community.
