Summary

Ambassador School-Global Education is a 332-student K–5 elementary school in Los Angeles, part of Los Angeles Unified. The most important finding is that in 2025–2026, proficiency was below both district and state levels in all three reported subjects: ELA was 29% at Ambassador, compared with 48% for the district and 49% for California; math was 21%, versus 40% and 38%; and science was 23%, versus 32% and 36%.

Compared with six nearby Los Angeles Unified K–5 schools with current scores, science was Ambassador’s strongest subject: its 23% result was higher than four schools and close to the peer average of 23%. Math was weakest, with the lowest score among the six; its 21% result was 18 percentage points below their average. In ELA, Ambassador’s 29% was below four nearby schools and above two, and 14 points below their average. Within the school, third grade stands out as a concern: math proficiency was 17%, 30 points below the state result for that grade. Fifth-grade ELA was comparatively stronger at 40%, though still 9 points below the state.

Results have changed unevenly. ELA rose 10 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, narrowing its gap with the state, while math was unchanged at 21% across those years and fell farther behind as state results improved. Science rebounded to 23% after dipping to 3% in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger places Ambassador at the 19th statewide percentile with one star, up from the 13th percentile the prior year; its 18.9:1 student-teacher ratio is the median among nine nearby schools with data. In 2024–2025, 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings were notably higher than the overall ranking: English Language Learner Students ranked at the 32nd percentile in 2023–2024 versus 16th overall, and Special Education Students at the 28th percentile in 2024–2025 versus 13th overall.
