Summary

Lorena Street Elementary is a Los Angeles Unified K–5 school at 1015 South Lorena Street in Los Angeles, serving 383 students. In 2025–26, proficiency was 33% in English language arts (ELA), 31% in math and 19% in science, and chronic absenteeism was 25%. The most important finding for families is that results remain below both district and state levels in every reported subject, while absenteeism is higher than both.

Science is Lorena’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, though its results are still low against state and district benchmarks: 19% were proficient, compared with 32% in the district and 36% statewide. Among the nearby K–5 schools Soto Street Elementary, Rowan Avenue Elementary and Euclid Avenue Elementary, Lorena’s science result was 4 points below their average; its ELA and math results were each about 8 points below. Fifth grade is a particular weakness: Lorena’s math proficiency was 23%, below all six nearby schools with fifth-grade results and 14 points below the state. Attendance is also a concern: Lorena’s absenteeism was 2 points above the district and 7 points above the state; only one of eight nearby schools with data had a higher rate.

Scores have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose 12 percentage points, math 10 and science 5. The state gaps narrowed in ELA and math, but widened by about 1 point in science. SchoolDigger rated Lorena at the 31st percentile and 2 stars in 2025–26. Its subgroup rankings also rose sharply: SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Special Education Students reached the 39th percentile, up from 0 three years earlier, while its Hispanic Students measure reached the 44th percentile, up from 15. In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 18.2, below the nearby district-school average of 19.5. That year, 68% of students were directly certified for free meals; the data also flag the school as likely serving free meals to all students (Community Eligibility). These figures provide context but do not explain the test results.
