Summary

Ninety-Third Street Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 772 students in the Los Angeles Unified School District, located in the 90003 ZIP code of South Los Angeles, and it stands out for its steady academic improvement and excellent student attendance record.

The school has shown remarkable progress, climbing from a 1-star to a 2-star rating and improving its statewide ranking from the 11th to the 33rd percentile in just a few years. A key strength is its low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.5%, which is significantly better than the district, state, and all nearby schools like South Park Elementary (22.2%) and Ninety-Ninth Street Elementary (23.1%). Academically, it is on a more consistent upward trajectory than most neighbors, such as One Hundred Seventh Street Elementary, and it is particularly effective in mathematics, where its proficiency is close to the state average.

While the school serves a community with significant economic needs, it achieves these results efficiently, spending less per student than several nearby schools with lower rankings. The data shows the school is very successful with English Language Learner students and that its strategies for improving attendance after the pandemic have paid clear academic dividends. However, parents should note that performance dips in 6th grade, especially in math and science, indicating an area where additional support may be needed as students prepare for middle school.
