Summary:

Corona Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in Bell, California, serving 598 students in grades 1-5. It is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Academically, Corona Avenue Elementary struggles, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 29.5% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 43.06% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school also faces a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.2% in 2017-2018 to 43.7% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 96.32% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, the nearby Jaime Escalante Elementary outperforms Corona Avenue Elementary, with a proficiency rate of 50.21% in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 29.5% at Corona Avenue. Addressing the factors contributing to Corona Avenue's challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and the needs of specific student subgroups, will be crucial for the school's improvement.

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.

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.
