Summary:

Ninety-Second Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 670 students in grades K-6 and part of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Ninety-Second Street Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's Hispanic and English Language Learner students have performed relatively well compared to other subgroups, but the school struggles with low achievement among African American, Special Education, and Disabled students. Chronic absenteeism has also been a significant issue, increasing from 11.2% in 2017-2018 to 26.7% in 2022-2023, well above the district and state averages.

Nearby schools, such as Judith F.

However, a few exceptions, like Willow Elementary and Compton Avenue Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The data suggests that Ninety-Second Street Elementary and the surrounding schools could benefit from a comprehensive approach to address the challenges they face, such as implementing evidence-based strategies to improve attendance and providing targeted academic support for struggling 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.
