Summary

Jersey Avenue Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 260 students in Santa Fe Springs, part of the Little Lake City Elementary district, and it stands out for its strong and improving academic performance in a community with significant economic need.

The school is on a clear upward trend, recently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 76th percentile statewide, with exceptional results in English Language Arts that outpace both district and state averages. Notably, it has made remarkable progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, cutting the rate by more than half since 2022. This consistent improvement contrasts with some nearby schools, like Rancho Santa Gertrudes Elementary and Aeolian Elementary, which have seen their rankings decline.

Jersey Avenue is a high-performing school within its district, which overall outperforms neighboring districts like El Rancho Unified and Los Nietos. While the school excels in many areas, a dip in 5th-grade math scores presents a shared challenge across the district. With its effective use of resources and focused support for its student population, Jersey Avenue delivers strong outcomes that make it a commendable and successful school in the area.
