Summary

Quincy Jones Elementary is a public K-5 school in the Los Angeles Unified district, serving 244 students in a high-needs area where over 96% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it has shown significant improvement in recent years.

The school is making impressive progress, especially in getting students to attend class regularly; its chronic absenteeism rate has dropped dramatically to 15.4%, which is better than the district, state, and most nearby schools like Trinity Street Elementary and Maple Primary Center. Academically, while test scores are still catching up to state averages, Quincy Jones is particularly effective for its English Language Learners and students from low-income families, ranking higher for these groups than many surrounding schools with similar demographics, such as Twenty-Eighth Street Elementary.

A fascinating comparison is with Synergy Charter Academy, which shares the same building but has higher test scores, though Quincy Jones spends more per student and has better attendance. Among traditional public schools in the area, Dolores Huerta Elementary performs similarly overall. The data shows Quincy Jones is on a positive trajectory, efficiently using resources to support its students' growth and recovery from pandemic-era challenges.
