Ninety-Ninth Street Elementary

Summary:

Ninety-Ninth Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 472 students in grades K-6 as part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic (79.06%) and significant African American (18.38%) enrollment, which differs from the racial compositions of nearby schools.

Academically, Ninety-Ninth Street Elementary performs on par with or slightly above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, particularly in 3rd grade where 51.85% of students were proficient or better, compared to 40.05% in the district and 42.96% statewide. However, the school's performance declines in higher grade levels, with only 26.09% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38.62% in the district and 44.16% statewide. The school also faces a significant challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 16.1% in 2017-2018 to 37.4% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby schools.

Ninety-Ninth Street Elementary, like the surrounding schools, serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 97.67% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school and community face significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and well-being. Addressing these issues, including the declining academic performance in higher grade levels and the high chronic absenteeism rates, will require a collaborative effort between the school, the Los Angeles Unified School District, and the community stakeholders.

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.
