Summary

Cabrillo Avenue Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 303 students in San Pedro within the Los Angeles Unified School District, notable for its dramatic academic improvement from one of the lowest-ranked schools in the state to now performing in the 63rd percentile.

This school stands out for its remarkable growth, especially given that over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a challenge many similar schools face. Cabrillo Avenue now outperforms nearby schools with comparable demographics like Barton Hill Elementary and Fifteenth Street Elementary. It shows particular strength in mathematics, where scores exceed both district and state averages, and it is exceptionally effective in supporting students from low-income families, female students, and those in special education, with these groups earning 4-star ratings.

While the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio appear to support this success, significant challenges remain, most notably a chronic absenteeism rate of 28.1%, which is higher than the district and state averages. Performance also varies by grade and subject, with strong 4th-grade math but weaker 3rd-grade math and science scores. Compared to higher-performing schools in the area with lower poverty rates, such as Point Fermin Elementary and White Point Elementary, Cabrillo Avenue's trajectory suggests that addressing attendance could unlock even greater academic gains for its students.
