of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 13% of California elementary schools

Summary

Ambassador School-Global Education is a public K-5 elementary school serving 332 students in the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in a high-need area where nearly 95% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with student test scores in English, math, and science far below both district and state averages; notably, only about 3% of students met science standards in the 2024-2025 school year, and performance drops sharply by 5th grade. The school's statewide ranking has declined over time to the 13th percentile, and it spends over $26,000 per student, which is higher than some nearby schools that achieve much better results. A particularly striking comparison is with Hoover Street Elementary, located less than a mile away, which serves a similarly high-need population but achieves proficiency rates over 40 percentage points higher in English Language Arts.

This comparison with Hoover Street Elementary and others like Cahuenga Elementary demonstrates that high student need does not predetermine low outcomes, suggesting school-level factors like teaching quality, leadership, and curriculum are critical. For parents, this means while Ambassador School-Global Education has adequate funding and reasonable class sizes, it is currently struggling with systemic instructional effectiveness, especially in upper grades and science, and lags behind many comparable schools in the area.
