Summary:

This analysis examines 11 elementary schools serving grades K-5 (with one K-8) in Los Angeles's 90004 zip code, revealing a wide spectrum of academic performance and resources within the Los Angeles Unified and Everest Value District.

Third Street Elementary stands out as the clear top performer, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide with exceptional test scores and very low chronic absenteeism, despite having the lowest per-student spending. Other strong options include Dr. Sammy Lee Medical and Health Science Magnet Elementary and Charles H. Kim Elementary, both in the 79th percentile. In contrast, Everest Value is a school needing attention, ranking in the 16th percentile with high chronic absenteeism and a significant decline in recent years.

Key takeaways for parents are that higher school funding does not guarantee better results here, and chronic absenteeism is a strong indicator of academic performance. Science scores are notably low across most schools, while math performance often dips in 5th grade. Most schools show stable performance, but the sharp decline at Everest Value and a smaller drop at Commonwealth Avenue Elementary are exceptions worth investigating.
