Summary

Carson-Gore Academy of Environmental Studies is a 344-student K–5 elementary school in Los Angeles, part of Los Angeles Unified, with several nearby schools available for comparison, though they do not all serve the same grade spans. In 2025–2026, Carson-Gore’s proficiency was below both district and state levels in ELA, math, and science. The most important concern is science: 21% of students were proficient, compared with 36% statewide, a 15-point gap.

Among nearby schools, Carson-Gore’s ELA result is around the middle: 40% proficiency, versus a nearby-school average of 43%, ranking fifth of nine schools. Math is its closest subject to state and district benchmarks—32%, compared with 38% statewide and 40% in the district—but locally it is weaker, ranking seventh of nine against a nearby average of 42%. Science is also around the middle among nearby schools with reported scores, ranking fourth of eight, with 21% proficiency compared with their 25% average. Fourth-grade math is a particular weak spot: 24% were proficient, the lowest result among nearby schools with data; fifth-grade math was stronger at 33%.

Results over time are mixed: science fell from 29% in 2022–2023 to 21% in 2025–2026, while ELA rose from 35% to 40% and math was nearly unchanged, moving from 32% to 32%. Chronic absenteeism improved substantially, dropping from 52% in 2021–2022 to 21% in 2025–2026, though it remained above the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger ranked Carson-Gore in the 38th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, with two stars; its percentile was 45 in 2023–2024. The student-teacher ratio was 17.2 in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools with reported ratios. In that same school year, 96% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner ranking shifted from the 15th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 89th in 2023–2024, indicating a sharp change in how well the school served that group relative to the same group statewide. A historical African American Students ranking was also notable: the school was at the 96th percentile in 2018–2019, compared with its overall 45th percentile that year.
