Summary

Angeles Mesa Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 297 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 796 out of 1,565 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Angeles Mesa Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.21% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 46.45% in the Los Angeles Unified district and 48.81% statewide. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 44.9% over the past few years.

Nearby schools within the Los Angeles Unified district, such as Fifty-Ninth Street Elementary and Forty-Second Street Elementary, also perform poorly compared to district and state averages, but generally outperform Angeles Mesa Elementary. Despite the high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, Angeles Mesa Elementary's spending per student is on par with or slightly higher than the nearby schools, but its student-teacher ratio is higher. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach involving increased funding, targeted interventions, and community-based support.
