Summary

Walgrove Avenue Elementary serves 271 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Los Angeles Unified, in an area with several nearby elementary schools available for comparison. In 2025–2026, the school’s proficiency rates were above both California and the district in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most important finding is that this advantage over state and district results did not extend to nearby schools: Walgrove’s scores were below the nearby-school average in all three subjects.

Math is Walgrove’s strongest result compared with state and district averages: 53% of students were proficient, versus 38% statewide and 40% in Los Angeles Unified. ELA proficiency was 55%, compared with 49% statewide and 48% in the district; science was 45%, versus 36% and 32%. The nearby-school comparison is tougher: average proficiency was 70% in ELA, 67% in math, and 59% in science. Walgrove scored higher than only two of the 10 nearby schools in ELA and math, and three in science. Chronic absenteeism is also worth noting: 23% of students were chronically absent, about the same as the district and 5 points above the state rate.

Results have improved substantially since 2022–2023: proficiency rose 16 points in ELA, 22 points in math, and 18 points in science, and all three subjects moved from below the state to above it. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 46th percentile to the 73rd percentile, with 4 stars in 2025–2026, though nearby schools generally ranked higher. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves White students was at the 98th percentile, while its measure for students with low socioeconomic status was at the 34th percentile. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 20.8, close to the nearby-school average; 39% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
