Summary

Fishburn Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in Maywood, California, serving 421 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 796 out of 1,565 districts in the state.

Fishburn Avenue Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of California elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Only 31.89% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 48.81% statewide, and just 31.22% were proficient in Math, compared to 37.3% across California. The school also has a high rate of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.4% to 30.8% over the past several years. Despite relatively high spending per student, ranging from $20,327 to $29,795, the school's performance remains well below state and district averages.

Fishburn Avenue Elementary's challenges are in stark contrast to the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Loma Vista Elementary, Heliotrope Avenue Elementary, and Maywood Elementary, as well as the local charter schools, Aspire Antonio Maria Lugo Academy and KIPP Pueblo Unido. Addressing the school's performance will require targeted interventions and support programs to meet the unique needs of its student population.
