Summary

Tenth Street Elementary is a public elementary school serving 339 students in grades 1-5 within the Los Angeles Unified district, operating in a high-needs community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school invests more per student than many nearby traditional public schools, its overall academic performance, currently in the state's lower quarter, has declined over the past decade. Notably, there is a significant performance gap compared to several charter schools in the area, such as Equitas Academy Charter and Camino Nuevo Charter Academy, which achieve higher test scores with similar student demographics and often lower spending. Performance within Tenth Street is also inconsistent across grades, with strong 3rd-grade math results that drop sharply in 4th and 5th grade.

The school shows important strengths, including a dramatic and successful reduction in chronic absenteeism, now better than both district and state averages. It also demonstrates relative proficiency in science, outperforming some higher-ranked neighbors like MacArthur Park Elementary School for the Visual and Perf Arts. However, the school faces pronounced challenges in effectively serving students with disabilities and English learners, areas where targeted support is critically needed.
