Summary

Fifty-Fourth Street Elementary is a 209-student, K–6 public school in Los Angeles, part of Los Angeles Unified. Its clearest distinction is that, among nearby schools with 2025–2026 scores, it had the strongest all-grades results in English language arts (ELA), math, and science.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with both the state and district: 42% of students were proficient, about 6 percentage points above the state and 10 above the district. ELA was 50% and math 39%; these were only about 1 point above state averages in each subject. ELA was about 2 points above the district, while math was essentially level with it. The school’s results also exceeded the averages for six nearby Los Angeles Unified elementary schools—27% in ELA, 27% in math, and 20% in science—by about 23, 12, and 21 points, respectively. Results vary by grade: fourth- and fifth-grade ELA and fourth-grade math were standouts, while third-grade ELA and third- and fifth-grade math were weaker spots.

Scores have risen overall since 2022–2023: ELA improved by about 7 percentage points, math by 3, and science by 18, though the year-to-year pattern was uneven. SchoolDigger places the school at the 59th statewide percentile, rank 2,386 of 5,804, with 3 stars. In 2024–2025, 95% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible; the student–teacher ratio was 16. Chronic absenteeism remains a concern: 29% in 2025–2026, compared with 23% districtwide and 18% statewide. SchoolDigger’s student-group effectiveness rankings show a notable contrast: African American students ranked at the 87th percentile, compared with 59th overall, while Female Students ranked at the 38th percentile. These rankings describe how well the school serves each group, not students’ abilities.
