Summary

Sierra Park Elementary is a 240-student, K–6 public school in Los Angeles, part of Los Angeles Unified. Its latest results show a clear academic split: math is ahead of district and state averages, while ELA and science trail them. The most pressing concern is attendance: 32% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, the highest rate among the 11 nearby schools.

Math is the school’s strongest subject, but it ranks sixth among nearby schools: 51% of students were proficient, compared with 40% in the district and 38% statewide. ELA proficiency was 41%, 7 points below the district and 8 below the state; Sierra Park ranked eighth nearby. Science was weaker still at 25%, 7 points below the district and 11 below the state, ranking ninth nearby. Results also vary by grade: grade 4 math was 28%, compared with 42% statewide, while grade 3 math reached 67% and grade 6 math 55%—the highest grade 6 result among nearby schools offering that grade.

Math has improved substantially over time, rising 26 percentage points from 25% in 2022–2023 to 51% in 2025–2026, though the year-to-year path was uneven. ELA rose 9 points over that period, while science increased 5 points and remained below the state. SchoolDigger’s rating climbed from the 37th percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025 to the 58th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026; six nearby schools rank higher. Attendance has improved from 53% chronically absent in 2021–2022, but it rose 3 points in the latest year; Huntington Drive Elementary was next highest nearby at 31%. In 2024–2025, Sierra Park’s student–teacher ratio was 17.1, below the nearby average of 19.5, and 93% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also differ: Female Students ranked at the 80th statewide percentile, versus 58th overall, while Male Students ranked at the 41st percentile.
