Summary
Fourth Street Elementary is a 303-student school in Los Angeles serving grades 2–5 in the Los Angeles Unified area. Its 2025–26 results show a mixed picture: math is close to state and district levels, but science is far behind, and performance varies by grade. Fifth grade is the clearest concern: proficiency there was 32% in English language arts (ELA) and 24% in math, compared with 43% in each subject in grade 4.
Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, the district, and the state: 38% of students were proficient, near the state’s 38%, the district’s 40%, and the nearby-school average of 39%. ELA was weaker at 39%, compared with 49% statewide, 48% in the district, and a 43% nearby average. Science is the largest gap: 13% were proficient, versus 36% statewide, 32% in the district, and a 23% nearby average. Among seven nearby schools with results, Fourth Street ranked fifth in ELA and math and sixth in science.
Results have improved notably in math but not in science. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, math proficiency rose 17 percentage points, bringing the school to within 1 point of the state; science fell 6 points, widening its gap with the state. SchoolDigger gives Fourth Street 2 stars and a statewide ranking at the 41st percentile for 2025–26, up from the 25th percentile the year before. Its student–teacher ratio was 18.9 in 2024–25, the lowest among nearby full elementary schools, and 91% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that school year. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for English Language Learner Students rose from 6 in 2021–22 to 44 in 2023–24, suggesting stronger relative performance for that group; for Special Education Students, it climbed from 21 in 2023–24 to 55 in 2025–26, above the school’s overall 41st percentile.
