San Gabriel Avenue Elementary

Summary:

San Gabriel Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in South Gate, California, serving 490 students in grades K-5 as part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. However, the school faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, consistently low academic performance, and significant disparities in student group outcomes.

San Gabriel Avenue Elementary has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.6% in 2017-2018 to 39.3% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. The school also consistently scores below the Los Angeles Unified and California state averages on Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and CAST Science assessments. While some nearby schools, such as Bryson Avenue Elementary and Victoria Avenue Elementary, demonstrate significantly higher performance, San Gabriel Avenue Elementary lags behind.

Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners tending to perform better than the overall school, while Special Education and Disabled students lag behind. The school's ranking for Disabled students is particularly low, placing it in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools. These disparities, combined with the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (over 96%), suggest that addressing socioeconomic factors and providing targeted support for vulnerable populations may be crucial for improving the overall performance of San Gabriel Avenue Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
