Summary

Normandie Avenue Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 509 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, operating in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school's test scores are below state and district averages, placing it in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools, though it has shown gradual improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years. A significant bright spot is a dramatic improvement in student attendance, with chronic absenteeism dropping from over half to about a quarter of students, which is now better than several nearby schools like Menlo Avenue Elementary and Martin Luther King Junior Elementary. The school spends more per student than most comparable district schools and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting investments in resources and potentially smaller class sizes.

Performance varies by grade, with 4th grade showing relative strength while 5th grade struggles significantly. Compared to nearby options, some charter schools like Global Education Academy achieve higher academic results with lower spending, while others perform similarly. The school's story is one of steady, if slow, academic progress alongside a major success in getting more students to attend school regularly.
