Summary

Aurora Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 328 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.

Despite having relatively high spending per student, ranging from $17,135 to $29,664 per year, Aurora Elementary consistently underperforms academically compared to the district and state averages. The school ranks in the bottom 25% of California elementary schools, with only 28.48% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, 25.45% to 33.9% proficient in Mathematics, and just 18.18% proficient in Science. The school also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.3% to 30.8%, compared to the district and state averages.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Dr. Lawrence H. Moore Math Science Technology Academy, Ascot Avenue Elementary, and Hooper Avenue Elementary generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. The challenges at Aurora Elementary appear to be related to the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be contributing to the school's overall underperformance.
