Summary

Kingsley Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 288 students in the East Hollywood/Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, part of the Los Angeles Unified school district.

Academically, Kingsley's test scores are generally in the middle compared to nearby schools, with notable strengths and challenges. For instance, its English and Math scores are higher than some neighbors like Ramona Elementary but lower than others such as Alexandria Avenue Elementary. The school shows a significant strength in supporting English Language Learners, ranking in the 74th percentile statewide for this group. However, performance varies widely by grade, with 4th grade excelling while 3rd grade struggles, and science scores are a particular area for improvement.

Kingsley's most remarkable success is its dramatic improvement in student attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism from over 42% to just 14.8%, which is now better than the district average and most local schools like Los Feliz STEM Magnet. This suggests a positive and engaging school climate. While nearby charter schools like Citizens of the World Charter School Hollywood may have higher test scores, Kingsley stands out for its effective attendance programs and dedicated support for specific student needs.
