Summary:
The Extera Public School No. 2 District in Los Angeles contains a single elementary school, Extera Public School No. 2, which serves grades K-5 with 121 students in a high-poverty community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite significant socioeconomic challenges, the school demonstrates a notable strength in maintaining a chronic absenteeism rate that is better than the California state average. Academically, performance varies considerably by grade, with a particularly strong result in 5th grade mathematics, where students outperformed the state average. However, overall proficiency in English, math, and science remains below state averages, and a concerning performance dip is evident in 4th grade across subjects.
The school's per-student spending is relatively high, yet its statewide ranking has consistently been in the lower third over recent years. For parents, this suggests a school environment that successfully supports student attendance but faces ongoing academic hurdles, with significant variation in student experience depending on their grade level.
