Summary

Normandie Avenue Elementary is a Los Angeles Unified school serving 509 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Los Angeles. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates improved in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but remained below state and district results in all three subjects. Chronic absenteeism was also higher than in Los Angeles Unified and California: 28%, compared with 23% and 18%, respectively. The clearest takeaway is that math is the school’s relative bright spot, while ELA and science remain its biggest academic gaps.

Math stands out both locally and in the school’s results against state and district averages: 33% of students were proficient, the highest result among six nearby same-district K–5 schools and 5 points above their average. Still, Normandie trailed the state by 5 points and the district by 7. ELA is a weaker local area: 30% were proficient, 2 points below the nearby-school average and second lowest in that group; the result was 19 points below the state and 18 below the district. Science proficiency was 17%, close to the nearby-school average of 18% and second highest among those schools, but 19 points below the state and 15 below the district.

Results rose from the previous year: proficiency increased by 9 points in ELA, 10 in math and 7 in science. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile also climbed 16 points, from 13 to 29, though the school remained at one star. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 16.4, the lowest among nearby schools with reported data. The school reported 98% of students as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. One SchoolDigger subgroup result is especially notable: African American students ranked at the 51st statewide percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 29th percentile; that subgroup ranking rose from 9 the prior year. These rankings describe SchoolDigger’s assessment of how well the school serves the named group, not comparisons among students.
