Summary

Third Street Elementary is a large, high-performing K-5 public school with 717 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, consistently ranking among the very best in California despite serving a substantial population of economically disadvantaged students.

The school's academic results are exceptional, with over 87% of students proficient in English and over 90% proficient in math, dramatically outpacing both district averages and all nearby schools like Melrose Avenue Elementary. Furthermore, it maintains a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.3%, which is less than half the rate of the next best local school and a fraction of rates at schools such as Hancock Park Elementary and Wilshire Crest Elementary. This high achievement is consistent across all student groups, with low-income, Hispanic, and white students all scoring in the state's top percentiles.

What makes Third Street Elementary particularly noteworthy is its cost-effective success; it achieves these elite outcomes with moderate per-student spending and a higher student-teacher ratio than many neighboring schools, such as Hollywood Elementary and Van Ness Avenue Elementary, which spend significantly more for poorer results. This demonstrates that effective teaching practices and a strong school culture can drive excellence, making it a standout model for urban public education in the area.
