Summary

Paseo del Rey Fundamental is a small, K-5 public elementary school serving 139 students in the Playa Del Rey area, operating within the Los Angeles Unified school district.

The school presents a mixed academic picture, currently ranking in the 63rd percentile statewide with a notable strength in mathematics, where it outperforms both district and state averages despite serving a population where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. However, performance varies dramatically by grade, with third graders excelling while fourth and fifth graders show much lower proficiency, particularly in English and science. A significant and concerning gender gap in performance is also evident. Compared to nearby schools like Kentwood Elementary or Playa Vista Elementary, which achieve higher test scores, Paseo del Rey spends dramatically more per student—over $41,000 annually, which is roughly double the funding of some local charters such as WISH Community.

Key challenges include a chronic absenteeism rate above the state average and the need for more consistent results across all grades. On a positive note, the school has shown recent improvement in its statewide ranking and demonstrates effectiveness in supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. For parents, the school offers a small setting with a low student-teacher ratio and substantial district investment, but its academic outcomes have not yet matched the level of its financial resources when compared to neighboring schools.
