Summary

Grape Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 353 students in grades K-5. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly from low-income families.

Grape Street Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the Los Angeles Unified School District and the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 30.54% of Grape Street students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 46.45% for the district and 48.81% for California. The school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 30.8% in recent years, are also much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, over 97% of Grape Street's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very low-income student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Ritter Elementary, Florence Griffith Joyner Elementary, and Weigand Avenue Elementary, Grape Street Elementary performs significantly worse in academic measures, with lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. Despite the high spending per student at Grape Street Elementary, the school's academic performance remains well below the district and state averages, suggesting that additional funding and resources alone may not be enough to address the challenges faced by the school.
