Summary

Pacific Boulevard Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 301 students in the Huntington Park area as part of the Los Angeles Unified district, notable for its very high per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than most neighboring schools.

While the school's overall state ranking has recently declined, it has shown historical strengths in supporting specific groups of students, particularly English Language Learners and Hispanic students, who have previously achieved high percentile rankings. The school's current performance in English and math is below the district average, with science being a notable area for improvement. Interestingly, despite a significant investment of resources, Pacific Boulevard's academic results are lower than those of nearby Vernon City Elementary, which serves a similar student community but achieves much higher proficiency rates.

Comparisons with other local schools reveal a complex picture: KIPP Comienza Community Prep, a charter school, outperforms Pacific Boulevard in English Language Arts with significantly lower per-student spending. However, the school maintains advantages like a better student-teacher ratio than Middleton Street Elementary and San Antonio Elementary. The recent improvement in chronic absenteeism is a positive sign, though it has not yet coincided with an academic rebound.
