Cesar Chavez Elementary

Public Grades K-6

4824^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 17% of California elementary schools

Summary

Cesar Chavez Elementary serves 169 students in grades K–6 in Los Angeles, California. Its 2025–2026 results show a clear concern: proficiency is low across all three reported subjects, and the school has the lowest ELA and math results among the 10 nearby schools in the comparison.

The school’s strongest subject in comparison with the state and district is science, though its results remain below both: 22% of students were proficient, compared with 32% in Los Angeles Unified and 36% statewide. ELA proficiency was 27%, versus 48% in the district and 49% statewide; math was 18%, versus 40% and 38%. Grade 4 stands out as a particular weakness: 14% were proficient in ELA and 7% in math, the lowest results among nearby schools reporting those grades. Across the six nearby district schools, average proficiency was 45% in ELA, 39% in math and 27% in science.

Over the four reported years, science improved from 0% to 22%, while ELA edged up from 25% to 27% and math slipped from 19% to 18%. The science gap with the state narrowed, but current results remain low. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 17th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, down from the 29th percentile the prior year, with a 1-star rating. Its student-teacher ratio was 15.3 in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools, whose average was 20.1; 93% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also fell sharply: its Female Students percentile dropped from 29 to 8, and its Low Socio Economic Status Students percentile from 41 to 19, reflecting lower recent rankings for how well the school serves those groups.
