Summary

Belvedere Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 526 students in the Boyle Heights/East Los Angeles area, operating as part of the Los Angeles Unified school district.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science well below both the district and state averages. Its statewide ranking places it in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools. This performance is notably lower than several nearby schools serving similar student populations, such as Brooklyn Avenue and First Street Elementary, which achieve significantly higher proficiency rates. The school also shows a concerning performance gap between male and female students, with boys ranking in the 9th percentile statewide compared to girls in the 27th.

While the school's chronic absenteeism rate has improved recently, it remains higher than the state average. An analysis of resources shows the school spends over $27,000 per student, yet achieves lower outcomes than some neighboring schools that spend similar or even less per pupil, like Rowan Avenue Elementary. The presence of higher-performing schools within a mile suggests that factors specific to Belvedere, such as program effectiveness or instructional practices, may be influencing these results more than neighborhood characteristics alone.
