Summary

El Sereno Elementary serves 222 students in grades K–6 in Los Angeles, within Los Angeles Unified. Its overall 2025–26 proficiency rates were below the state and district in English language arts, math and science, with the sharpest concern in sixth-grade math: 8% proficient, versus 37% in both the state and district, the lowest result among the five nearby schools with sixth-grade data.

Across all grades, El Sereno was also below nearby-school averages in ELA (42% versus 48%), math (34% versus 44%) and science (30% versus 37%). Its biggest gap from the nearby average was in math, at 9 points; it was 7 points below in ELA and 7 in science. Results vary by grade: fourth-grade ELA was a bright spot at 52%, 6 points above the state and 5 above the district, and third-grade math reached 55%, 8 points above the state. Attendance is another positive: chronic absenteeism was 11%, compared with 23% in the district and 18% statewide, and was lower than at nine of the ten nearby schools.

Over the four reported years, ELA proficiency fell by 7 points, while math rose by 6 and science by 8, though science fluctuated sharply between 55% and 10% in the middle years. El Sereno was at the 47th statewide percentile with 2 stars in SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 ranking; its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio of 22.2 was higher than every nearby school’s. In 2024–25, 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show a lower standing for Female Students (28th percentile, down from 55th in 2023–24) and a higher one for Hispanic Students (62nd percentile, versus 47th overall), indicating different statewide measures of how well the school serves these groups.
