Nevada Avenue Elementary

Summary:

Nevada Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school located in West Hills, California, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 353 students. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in California and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Nevada Avenue Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.3% in 2020-2021 to 50.1% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by the Smarter Balanced Assessments, is consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy ranged from 32.08% (4th grade) to 40% (5th grade), compared to the state averages of 43.9% and 47.37%, respectively. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 16.36% (4th grade) to 36.36% (3rd grade), compared to the state averages of 41.2% and 45.64%, respectively.

While Nevada Avenue Elementary struggles academically, some nearby schools, such as Justice Street Academy Charter and Capistrano Avenue Elementary, perform significantly better on standardized tests, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state and district averages. These schools serve a similar demographic of students, suggesting that factors beyond just student population may be contributing to the academic performance differences. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and the disparities in subgroup performance at Nevada Avenue Elementary could potentially lead to improvements in academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
