Summary

Twenty-Fourth Street Elementary is a K-4 public school serving 441 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, and it stands out as a remarkable success story of academic improvement in the local area.

The school has undergone a dramatic transformation, rising from one of the lowest-ranked schools in the state a decade ago to now ranking in the 64th percentile, making it the highest-ranked among nearby elementary schools like Mid-City's Prescott School of Enriched Sciences and significantly outperforming others such as Arlington Heights Elementary. Its strength in mathematics is particularly notable, with nearly half of students proficient, a rate that beats both the district and state averages and is much higher than neighboring schools. Furthermore, the school has achieved an impressive turnaround in student attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism to 13.7%, which is among the best rates in the community and far better than the Los Angeles Unified average.

This success is especially evident in how well the school supports all its students, with exceptionally high rankings for English language learners and students from low-income families. While nearby charter schools like Lashon Academy City exist, Twenty-Fourth Street Elementary competes favorably, demonstrating that a district school can achieve excellent results. The school's focused strategies in math, attendance, and targeted support have created a powerful model of what is possible for neighborhood schools serving similar communities.
