Summary:
Elementary school families in zip code 91106 in Los Angeles have one option: Twentieth Street Elementary, a K-5 school serving 499 students within the Los Angeles Unified district.
This school serves a high-needs community, with over 95% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and faces challenges with chronic absenteeism affecting about 23% of students. Academically, the school shows a mixed picture: its mathematics proficiency rate slightly exceeds both district and state averages, which is a notable strength, but performance in English Language Arts is below average and science proficiency is critically low at less than half the state average. The school's ranking has remained consistently in the 44th to 45th percentile among California elementary schools over the past three years.
Key trends show that while English scores improve as students move from 3rd to 5th grade, math scores drop significantly, with 5th graders performing much lower than 3rd graders. With substantial per-student funding, the main areas for improvement appear to be boosting science education, addressing the grade-level decline in math, and reducing student absences to help more children succeed.
