Summary

Rosa Parks Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 343 students in the Lynwood Unified School District, operating in a high-need community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom third of California elementary schools with test scores below state averages, though it shows relative strengths in mathematics and science compared to other Lynwood Unified schools. A critical concern is chronic absenteeism, which at 44.3% is more than double the state average and the highest among all nearby schools, including Lindbergh Elementary and Washington Elementary. The school also shows a substantial performance gap between female and male students.

Interesting comparisons reveal that while Soleil Academy Charter nearby performs similarly, other close schools like Washington Elementary perform significantly better. Most strikingly, Foster Elementary in the neighboring Compton Unified district, less than a mile away and serving a similar student population, achieves much higher test scores with dramatically lower absenteeism, demonstrating that different approaches within similar communities can yield very different results.
