Summary

Crescent Heights Boulevard Elementary is a K-5 public school in the Los Angeles Unified district, serving 204 students in a community where over 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic need.

The school's academic performance has been inconsistent in recent years, but it shows notable strengths in serving specific student groups, ranking well for African American and low-income students compared to similar schools statewide. A particular bright spot is 3rd-grade math, where proficiency is well above average. However, performance varies greatly by grade and subject, and there is a concerning gap in achievement between male and female students. While the school spends significantly more per student—nearly $38,000—than most nearby Los Angeles Unified schools like Castle Heights Elementary and Canfield Avenue Elementary, this high investment has not yet translated into consistently higher overall test scores.

Compared to its neighbors, Crescent Heights has made good progress reducing chronic student absences since the pandemic, though its rate remains higher than schools like Castle Heights Elementary. The school's story is one of targeted success amid challenges, demonstrating it can achieve strong results in specific areas while working to create more stable and equitable outcomes for all students across every grade level.
