Summary:
The 12 elementary schools located in the 90023 zip code area of Los Angeles serve students from kindergarten through 6th or 8th grade, with a mix of traditional public schools and public charter schools. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the area, with Soto Street Elementary and KIPP Promesa Prep standing out as potential high-performing institutions.
Several schools in the area struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. The consistently high free/reduced lunch rates across all schools indicate that the student population in this area faces significant socioeconomic challenges. The two charter schools, KIPP Endeavor College Preparatory Charter and KIPP Promesa Prep, appear to be among the higher-performing institutions in the area, suggesting that the charter school model may be providing some benefits to students in this community.
Overall, the data provides a detailed snapshot of the elementary school landscape in the 90023 zip code area, highlighting both the strengths and areas for improvement within this educational ecosystem. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, as well as the needs of low-income students, could be critical factors in improving overall academic performance across the schools in this area. Additionally, opportunities for collaboration and resource sharing among the schools may help raise the performance of the lower-achieving institutions.
