San Pedro Street Elementary

Summary:

San Pedro Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 450 students in grades K-5 and part of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

While San Pedro Street Elementary's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform better than the school's overall performance, the school faces several key challenges. Its test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the district and state averages. The school has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 7.2% in 2017-2018 to 41.2% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state. Additionally, the school's Special Education and Disabled student groups perform significantly worse, ranking in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby traditional public schools, such as Twenty-Eighth Street Elementary, Ninth Street Elementary, and Norwood Street Elementary, have similar performance profiles to San Pedro Street Elementary. However, the charter schools in the area, such as Synergy Charter Academy and Para Los Ninos Charter, outperform San Pedro Street Elementary and the nearby traditional public schools in both test scores and chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
