Summary

Fletcher Drive Elementary is a small public elementary school serving 156 students in grades K-5 within the Los Angeles Unified school district, notable for its very high level of student economic need and recent, significant drop in academic performance rankings.

Academically, the school's statewide ranking has fallen sharply from the 54th percentile to the 24th percentile in just two years, a decline much steeper than at nearby schools like Delevan Drive Elementary (89th percentile) or Atwater Avenue Elementary (75th percentile). This decline is particularly pronounced in mathematics and science, where proficiency rates are critically low compared to district and state averages. Despite having a favorable student-teacher ratio and the highest per-student spending among compared schools at $29,761, these resources have not translated into stable academic outcomes.

While chronic absenteeism has improved, it remains a challenge at 22.3%. The school's small size and the extreme economic disadvantage of its student population, with 97% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, present a unique context compared to neighbors such as Glassell Park Elementary. Parents may want to investigate the specific academic interventions and support systems in place, especially for science and math, and understand the school's plan to address its recent performance volatility.
