Summary

Liggett Street Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 550 students in Panorama City as part of the Los Angeles Unified district, operating in a community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school shows a mixed but improving picture, currently ranking in the 45th percentile statewide, which is stronger than nearby schools like Beachy Avenue Elementary (32nd percentile) and Sharp Avenue Elementary (28th percentile) that serve similar student populations. The school demonstrates particular strengths in supporting English Language Learners and Hispanic students, with their performance ranking above the state average. However, challenges remain with chronic absenteeism, which at 26.8% is higher than the state average, and with science proficiency, which is a common area for improvement across many local schools.

When compared to other high-need schools in the area, Liggett Street's performance indicates that school practices make a significant difference. For instance, Canterbury Avenue Elementary achieves higher rankings with lower per-student spending, while Chase Street Elementary has a remarkably low absenteeism rate. The school's resource allocation, with a student-teacher ratio of 22:1, is typical for the area, but its year-to-year performance can be volatile, suggesting it is responsive to changes in programs or support.
