of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 24% of California elementary schools

Summary

Camino Nuevo Elementary #3 is a K-8 public school serving 743 students in the Westlake/Pico-Union area of Los Angeles, operating within its own Camino Nuevo Elementary #3 District.

Academically, the school performs below state averages, with a current 1-star rating placing it in the lower quartile of California schools; it shows particular strength in supporting English Language Learners but faces significant challenges in serving students with special needs and with high chronic absenteeism at 28.9%. Compared to nearby schools like Twenty-Fourth Street Elementary and Vermont Avenue Elementary, which have shown consistent improvement, Camino Nuevo's academic trajectory has been more volatile, and its larger K-8 structure does not appear to provide an academic advantage over K-5 schools.

Key areas for consideration include a notable gender performance gap, inconsistent results across different grade levels, and the fact that other local schools with similar student demographics achieve stronger results, suggesting factors like instructional quality and specific interventions are important differentiators. While the school spends about $20,800 per student, its outcomes lag behind some peers like Equitas Academy Charter, indicating a need for focused improvements in mathematics, special education services, and attendance to better serve its community.
