Summary:
The Extera Public School No. 2 District in Los Angeles, California, consists of a single elementary school, Extera Public School No. 2, serving grades K-5 with 121 students, nearly all of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
As the only school in the district, Extera Public School No. 2 faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency in English, math, and science consistently below state averages, resulting in a ranking in the bottom third of California elementary schools. However, the school spends over $26,000 per student, which is well above the typical state average, and maintains a chronic absenteeism rate better than the state as a whole, indicating some effective operational areas.
Performance varies dramatically between grades, with fifth-grade math scores exceeding the state average while fourth-grade scores are far below, suggesting uneven instructional effectiveness. The school's high economic need and isolated, single-school district structure present a complex environment where high per-student spending has not yet translated into broad academic improvement, though the strong fifth-grade math results and better attendance offer potential foundations for growth.
