Summary

Ninety-Second Street Elementary is a K-6 public school in the Los Angeles Unified district, serving 568 students in a high-need community where nearly all qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it has shown steady academic improvement in recent years.

The school is on a positive upward trend, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star state rating, and it performs particularly well in mathematics compared to many nearby schools like Graham Elementary and Florence Griffith Joyner Elementary. It has also been very effective in supporting English Language Learners and has made impressive gains in reducing chronic student absenteeism, which is now better than the district average and lower than neighbors such as Ninety-Sixth Street Elementary. However, the school faces challenges in English Language Arts and science proficiency, and there are significant performance gaps for some student subgroups that need attention.

When compared to other local options, Ninety-Second Street sits in the middle tier—it outperforms several schools but lags behind higher-performing ones like Stanford Avenue Elementary. Notably, it achieves these results with lower per-student spending than some neighboring schools, suggesting efficient use of resources. For families, this school represents a community-focused option with clear strengths in math and supporting multilingual learners, and it is demonstrating a consistent record of improvement.
