Summary

Middleton Street Elementary is a public school serving about 600 students in grades 1 through 6 in the Los Angeles Unified school district, operating in a community where nearly every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school shows particular strengths in supporting its students, ranking better than over half of similar schools across the state for its core student populations, and has made impressive gains in reducing chronic student absences since the pandemic. A standout finding is the strong performance of its sixth graders, especially in mathematics, where they score well above both district and state averages. While the school's overall state rating is average, it outperforms several nearby charter schools like Academia Moderna and Aspire Junior Collegiate Academy, though it trails behind KIPP Comienza Community Prep.

Middleton Street achieves these results while spending less per student than many other local Los Angeles Unified schools. Areas for growth include science proficiency, which is low, and providing more targeted support for students experiencing homelessness. The school has demonstrated a clear, decade-long trend of improvement, suggesting stable and effective leadership in a challenging environment.
