Summary

One Hundred Ninth Street Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 332 students in South Los Angeles, operating within the Los Angeles Unified school district and demonstrating a remarkable multi-year turnaround from being among the state's lowest-performing schools to achieving average performance levels.

The school's standout feature is its consistent and impressive academic improvement, climbing from a 1-star state rating to a 2-star rating and now ranking in the 37th percentile statewide, a trajectory stronger than many nearby schools like One Hundred Twelfth Street Elementary or One Hundred Sixteenth Street Elementary. It has shown particular strength in mathematics, where its proficiency rate is competitive with the district average, and has made dramatic progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism from over 55% to under 20%, a key factor often linked to better academic outcomes. The school is also notably effective for its Hispanic students, who rank in the 62nd percentile statewide.

While the school's overall progress is clear, challenges remain, particularly in science proficiency, which is significantly below state and district averages, and in serving its special education students effectively. The wide variation in performance among nearby schools with similar student populations, from higher-performing One Hundred Twenty-Second Street Elementary to lower-performing Lovelia P. Flournoy Elementary, highlights that school leadership and specific programs can make a substantial difference in student success.
