Summary

Fourth Street Elementary is a public school serving 303 students in grades 2 through 5 in the Los Angeles Unified district, operating in a high-need community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with its statewide ranking in the 25th percentile and less than a third of students proficient in English and math. Performance tends to drop in the upper grades, and the school has struggled recently with supporting its English Language Learners. Interestingly, the school spends over $30,000 per student, which is more than many nearby schools, but this higher spending has not yet translated to stronger academic results compared to neighbors like Morris K. Hamasaki Elementary or charter schools such as KIPP Raices Academy, which have higher proficiency rates.

On a positive note, Fourth Street Elementary has made impressive progress in improving student attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism from nearly 40% to about 16%, which is now better than the district and state averages. This improvement in getting students to school regularly is a crucial foundation for learning. The school's performance varies greatly compared to other schools in the immediate area, highlighting that different schools with similar student demographics can have different outcomes, suggesting factors like instructional approach and school culture play important roles.
