Summary

Raymond Avenue Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 457 students in South Los Angeles within the Los Angeles Unified school district, notable for its dramatic academic improvement over the past decade from one of the lowest-ranked schools in the state to a solidly mid-performing one.

The school's standout strengths are its effectiveness with English Language Learners and its strong, consistent improvement in mathematics, where its proficiency now nearly matches the district and state averages; this is a brighter spot compared to nearby schools like Loren Miller Elementary and Gerald A. Lawson Academy of the Arts Math and Sci. However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which is the highest among its local peers, and shows worrying weaknesses in science proficiency and inconsistent results across different grade levels.

While Raymond Avenue spends more per student than most neighboring schools, its overall academic performance is similar to higher-performing neighbors like Gil Garcetti Learning Academy and Seventy-Fourth Street Elementary, which achieve comparable results with lower absenteeism, indicating there are opportunities for Raymond Avenue to learn from their approaches and strategically address its ongoing challenges.
