Summary

Hillery T. Broadous Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 343 students in the Pacoima neighborhood of Los Angeles, operating within the Los Angeles Unified school district.

The school is on a clear upward path, having significantly improved its statewide ranking over the past few years, and it stands out from other local Los Angeles Unified schools in two key ways. First, it has the lowest rate of chronic student absences in the area at 15.1%, which is much better than neighbors like Morningside Elementary and Harding Street Elementary. Second, it spends more per student than any nearby traditional public school, which may support the services helping its improvement. While test scores are still catching up to district and state averages, the school is particularly effective in teaching English Language Learners, ranking in the top third of schools statewide for that group.

Parents should note that the school faces challenges common to the area, including serving a high-need population, and there are performance gaps, especially for students in special education. Compared to higher-performing local charter schools like Fenton Avenue Charter, Broadous's academic results are more modest, but its strong attendance and positive trend suggest a committed school community. The significant investment per student and focus on getting kids to school appear to be foundational strengths for its continued growth.
