Summary
Clifford Street Elementary Math & Technology Magnet is a small Los Angeles Unified school serving kindergarten through fifth grade, with 128 students in a community near several other elementary schools. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were 79% in English language arts (ELA), 71% in math, and 55% in science. The most important takeaway is that Clifford performed well above district and state averages in all three subjects and ranked second among nearby K–5 peers in each one.
Clifford’s strongest relative advantage depends on the comparison: its state gaps were 30 percentage points in ELA, 32 in math, and 19 in science, while its gaps over Los Angeles Unified were 31, 31, and 22 points. Among nearby K–5 schools, it was behind only Ivanhoe Elementary in each subject, and its scores exceeded the peer averages by 16 points in ELA, 10 in math, and 11 in science. Fourth grade is a particular strength: Clifford led nearby peers in fourth-grade ELA and math, at 86% and 83%; third-grade ELA, at 64%, is a relative soft spot. Science is its smallest advantage over the state and district, though its nearby-school standing remains strong.
Results have risen substantially since 2022–23: Clifford gained 18 percentage points in ELA, 13 in math, and 12 in science, outpacing state gains and widening its leads. SchoolDigger ranked it 584th of 5,804 California schools in 2025–26, at the 90th percentile with four stars; only Ivanhoe ranked higher among the nearby Los Angeles Unified schools in the comparison. Clifford’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 18.2, and 52% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible (sy 2024–25). SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile for students with low socioeconomic status rose from 64 in 2022–23 to 97 in 2025–26, while its 2024–25 percentile for female students was 57, compared with 82 overall.
