Summary

Broad Avenue Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 441 students in Wilmington, CA, as part of the Los Angeles Unified district, and it has shown impressive academic improvement in recent years, now ranking in the top half of all California schools.

The school is a standout for its strong math performance and effective support for students who need it most. In mathematics, 43.75% of students are proficient, which is notably higher than both the district and state averages and outperforms nearby schools like George De La Torre Junior Elementary and Normont Elementary. The school has also made dramatic progress in getting students to class regularly, cutting chronic absenteeism by more than half in just three years to a rate that is now better than the state average.

While science scores are an area for growth, Broad Avenue Elementary achieves these results by doing particularly well with English learners and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, often outperforming expectations. Compared to a higher-performing neighbor like Two Hundred Thirty-Second Place Elementary, Broad Avenue demonstrates comparable effectiveness in supporting similar groups of students, making it a strong and improving choice within the Wilmington community.
