Summary

Ninety-Fifth Street Elementary is a large public elementary school serving 745 students in grades K-5 within the Los Angeles Unified School District, located in a high-poverty area of South Los Angeles where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school is on a positive upward trend, having improved its statewide ranking from the 11th to the 34th percentile over several years, though test scores in English, Math, and Science still remain below district and state averages. The school demonstrates particular strengths, earning high marks for its effectiveness with Hispanic students and showing dramatic, recent improvement in supporting English Language Learners. While chronic student absenteeism is a challenge at 30%, this rate represents significant improvement from pandemic highs and is now comparable to or better than several neighbors like Woodcrest Elementary and KIPP Empower Academy.

Compared to nearby schools, Ninety-Fifth Street Elementary performs in the middle of the pack—it trails higher-achieving schools like Figueroa Street Elementary and Watts Learning Center but outperforms others such as Manhattan Place Elementary and Charles W. Barrett Elementary. The school operates with moderate per-student spending for the area, and its consistent improvement suggests recent strategies are having a positive effect, though substantial gaps with higher-performing peers remain.
