Summary

Nevin Avenue Elementary serves 478 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Los Angeles, in the Los Angeles Unified district. Its most important takeaway is a sharp subject split: mathematics is a relative strength, while science is its clearest academic weakness.

In 2025–2026, 41% of students were proficient in math, above the state’s 38%, the district’s 40%, and the 32% average across six nearby K–5 schools. Nevin ranked second among those seven schools in math. ELA proficiency was 38%—below the state’s 49% and district’s 48%, but above the nearby-school average of 32%. Science was just 17%, compared with 36% statewide, 32% in the district, and a 23% nearby-school average. Grade-level results also vary: fourth-grade ELA reached 50%, while fifth-grade math was 22% and fifth-grade ELA was 34%.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose 11 percentage points, math 17 points, and science 12 points, though science remains far below state and district results. SchoolDigger rates Nevin at the 45th percentile statewide with 2 stars; the district is at the 54th percentile with 3 stars. Chronic absenteeism is a concern: it was 26% in 2025–2026, up 6 points from the prior year and above the district’s 23% and state’s 18%. Other context includes a student–teacher ratio of 21.7 in 2024–2025 and 98% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch that year. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well Nevin serves English Language Learner Students rose notably, from the 14th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 72nd in 2023–2024, when the school’s overall ranking was at the 43rd percentile.
