Summary

Second Street Elementary is a Los Angeles Unified school in Los Angeles serving 226 students in kindergarten through sixth grade. Its 2025–26 results show a clear split: it led nearby schools in science, but its English language arts (ELA) and math scores were among the lowest. The most important takeaway is that science is a local bright spot, while ELA—especially in third grade—is the clearest academic concern.

In 2025–26, Second Street’s science proficiency was 31%, the highest among eight nearby Los Angeles Unified schools with current scores; the nearby average was 21%. But science was still 5 percentage points below California and 1 point below the district. ELA was 36%, 13 points below both the state and district, and 5 points below the nearby average; it ranked second-lowest locally. Math was 34%, 4 points below the state, 5 below the district, and 4 below the nearby average, making it third-lowest locally. Within the school, third-grade ELA was 22%, while sixth-grade ELA was 48%—just above the state’s 48%.

Results have shifted unevenly: since 2023–24, ELA rose 6 percentage points, while math fell 5 points; science rose 31 points from 2022–23 but varied widely along the way. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 42nd statewide percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, down 4 percentile points from the prior year; the district was at the 54th percentile with 3 stars. Chronic absenteeism improved by 22 points from 2021–22 but remained 26% in 2025–26, above the district’s 23% and state’s 18%. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 17.3, below the nearby average of 18.3. Second Street reported 66% directly certified for free meals in 2024–25 and was flagged as likely using Community Eligibility; nearby schools report free/reduced-lunch eligibility, so those measures are not directly comparable. SchoolDigger’s subgroup standing was lower for Female Students (27th percentile versus 42nd overall); for English Language Learner Students, it fell from the 49th percentile in 2017–18 to the 10th in 2018–19, a historical result that does not show whether the pattern continued.
