Summary

Utah Street Elementary is a K–8 school serving 360 students in Los Angeles, within Los Angeles Unified. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 9th percentile statewide and gave it 0 stars in 2025–2026, and its all-grades proficiency was below both the state and district in ELA, math, and science. The most important finding is that low results span all three subjects, not just one.

The school’s clearest strength is 8th-grade ELA: 52% of students were proficient, above the state’s 49% and the district’s 48%. Schoolwide, however, Utah Street trailed nearby LAUSD schools: its 2025–2026 proficiency was 32% in ELA, 21% in math, and 16% in science, compared with nearby-school averages of 40%, 36%, and 25%. It ranked second-lowest among those schools in ELA and lowest in math and science. All-grades comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like because nearby schools serve different grade spans.

Results have fluctuated: after rising in earlier years, proficiency fell from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in ELA (34% to 32%), math (25% to 21%), and science (23% to 16%). SchoolDigger’s overall ranking also fell from the 23rd percentile and 1 star in 2024–2025 to the 9th percentile and 0 stars in 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 15.9, below the nearby-school average of 17.7; 95.6% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 26% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 23% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school served Male Students fell from the 22nd to the 6th percentile between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026; for Low Socio Economic Status Students, it dropped from the 27th to the 12th percentile.
