Annandale Elementary

Summary:

Annandale Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 118 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Annandale Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently underperforming academic results compared to the district and state, and a high percentage of students from low-income families. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 32.43% of Annandale students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.06% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school's subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, also perform significantly worse than their counterparts across California. Nearby schools, such as Rockdale Visual & Performing Arts Magnet and Dahlia Heights Elementary, consistently outperform Annandale in academic assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates.

The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the large proportion of students from low-income families may be contributing factors to Annandale's underperformance. These socioeconomic and attendance-related challenges can have a significant impact on student learning and academic achievement. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support could be crucial in helping the school improve and better serve its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Administration has no clue about anything. Kids are shoved in tiny classrooms waiting for a new one. Difficult situation to begin with, but these are spec. Ed kids. Some if the special ed. teachers go without ANY aides for long periods of time. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
