Summary

Magnolia Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 546 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.

Magnolia Avenue Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools over the past several years, with student performance on standardized tests significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are around 10-15 percentage points lower than the state and district averages, particularly in Mathematics, where proficiency rates range from 15% to 41%. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.4% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Leo Politi Elementary, Norwood Street Elementary, and Tenth Street Elementary, also perform poorly compared to the state and district averages, with similar patterns of low student achievement and high rates of chronic absenteeism. However, the nearby Camino Nuevo Elementary #3, Equitas Academy Charter, and Equitas Academy #3 Charter generally outperform Magnolia Avenue Elementary and the other nearby traditional public schools, despite serving similar student populations.
