Summary

Twenty-Eighth Street Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 459 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, consistently ranking in the lower quarter of all California elementary schools with proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are significantly below state and district averages.

When compared to other local schools, Twenty-Eighth Street Elementary generally underperforms academically; for example, its English proficiency rate of 20% is much lower than nearby Synergy Charter Academy at 56%. The school spends more per student ($32,422) than several higher-performing neighbors, suggesting its resources may not be translating into stronger results. However, the school has made real progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, bringing it down from over 42% to about 27%, which is now similar to other area schools like Wadsworth Avenue Elementary.

Performance varies significantly between different student groups and grades, with science being a particular area of weakness. The school's ranking has been volatile in recent years, and while it serves a community with similar challenges as its neighbors, its academic outcomes lag behind. This indicates that improvement is possible, as demonstrated by other local schools, and the recent gains in attendance could be a foundation for building better academic achievement in the future.
