Summary

Second Street Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 226 students in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles, part of the Los Angeles Unified district, and has shown remarkable academic improvement over the last decade.

The school stands out for its strong and improving performance in mathematics, where it outperforms the district and state averages and notably exceeds nearby schools like Bridge Street Elementary and Utah Street Elementary. This success is achieved efficiently, with lower per-student spending than several neighbors. The school has also made impressive strides in reducing chronic student absenteeism by nearly half in three years. However, a significant challenge exists in science, where proficiency is far below average and has dropped sharply from the previous year.

When compared to the highest-performing schools in the immediate area, such as Soto Street Elementary and First Street Elementary, Second Street Elementary still has room to grow. Its journey from a very low to a moderate statewide ranking demonstrates effective strategies for improvement, though consistency across all grade levels remains a focus area for continued progress.
