Summary

Malabar Street Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 418 students in the Boyle Heights/East Los Angeles area, operating within the Los Angeles Unified school district.

While the school's overall academic scores are below state and district averages, it shows remarkable strengths in supporting specific student groups. For example, its programs for English Learners and students with disabilities are highly effective, ranking well above average statewide. However, the school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, though rates have improved significantly since the pandemic, and foundational skills in early grades appear weaker than in upper grades.

Compared to nearby schools like First Street Elementary or Euclid Avenue Elementary, which have higher overall rankings, Malabar Street stands out for its success with vulnerable populations. It achieves these subgroup results with mid-range per-student spending, offering distinct value for families whose children might benefit from these targeted supports, even as it works to improve its overall academic performance.
