Summary

Nevin Avenue Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 478 students in the Los Angeles Unified School District, located in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school's overall state ranking is below average, but it shows significant strengths in specific areas: its math scores are close to the state average, and it has been notably effective in supporting its Hispanic students and, in recent years, its English Language Learners. A major positive trend is a dramatic improvement in student attendance, with chronic absenteeism dropping sharply to a rate now better than the district average. However, challenges remain, including a large performance gap between male and female students, very low science scores, and inconsistent results across different grade levels and for students in special education.

When compared to nearby schools, Nevin Avenue spends more per student than most, including higher-performing schools like Ascot Avenue Elementary and Synergy Charter Academy. The school's improving attendance is a standout strength compared to neighbors, but its academic results have not yet caught up to those peers. Looking at a higher-performing school with similar demographics, Vernon City Elementary demonstrates that strong attendance combined with even greater resources can lead to much higher academic achievement.
