Summary

Cohasset Street Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 451 students in Lake Balboa, part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, where the vast majority of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with test scores in English and Math consistently below district and state averages, placing it in the lower percentiles statewide. This performance is notably lower than several nearby schools, such as Stagg Street Elementary and Panorama City Elementary, which serve similar student populations but achieve much higher proficiency rates. However, Cohasset has shown remarkable and rapid improvement in one critical area: reducing chronic student absenteeism from 44.6% to 14.5% over three years, a rate that is now better than most neighboring schools and well below the district average.

Despite having a favorable student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than many comparable local schools, these resources have not yet translated into stronger academic results. The school's performance has remained persistently low over the past decade, even as attendance has improved dramatically, indicating that addressing classroom learning is a separate and ongoing challenge. For parents, this presents a mixed picture: a school that is successfully getting children to attend but is still struggling to help them achieve grade-level proficiency in core subjects.
