Summary

Carson-Gore Academy of Environmental Studies is a public K-5 elementary school serving 344 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, maintaining a 2-star rating that places it in the 37th percentile among all California schools.

The school serves a community with significant economic need, and while its overall test scores are below average, it performs better than about half of the state's schools with similar student demographics. It shows notable strengths, including dramatic improvement in reducing chronic absenteeism from over 50% to 18.8%, and particularly effective support for English Language Learners and students with special education needs. This performance is stronger than that of some very nearby schools like Arlington Heights Elementary and Los Angeles Elementary, which have similar challenges but lower rankings.

Compared to other local options, Carson-Gore operates with a favorable student-teacher ratio and mid-range per-student spending. Its specialized environmental studies curriculum and the significant gains in student attendance are positive indicators for future growth. The wide variation in performance among nearby schools, such as the higher-performing Queen Anne Place Elementary, suggests that school-specific practices at Carson-Gore are making a difference for its students despite the broader challenges.
