Huntington Drive Elementary

Summary:

Huntington Drive Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 294 students in grades K-6. 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.

Huntington Drive Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 14.9% to 43.2% in recent years, well above the district and state averages. The school's academic performance is also a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are notably lower than the Los Angeles Unified and California state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 6th grade English Language Arts, Huntington Drive's proficiency rate is 36.36%, compared to the district's 41.55% and the state's 45.82%. The school's performance is particularly low for specific student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, and students with disabilities.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Farmdale Elementary, Latona Avenue Elementary, and Multnomah Street Elementary generally perform better than Huntington Drive Elementary across various academic metrics. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Huntington Drive appear to be correlated with the school's lower academic performance, and the school's high percentage of students from low-income families likely contributes to these challenges. Addressing chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions and support programs could be crucial in helping Huntington Drive Elementary improve and provide a better educational experience for 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.

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.
