Robert Louis Stevenson College and Career Preparatory

Summary:

Robert Louis Stevenson College and Career Preparatory is a public middle school in Los Angeles, CA, serving 876 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robert Louis Stevenson College and Career Preparatory has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California middle schools, ranging from 1,842 to 2,139 out of around 2,500-2,800 schools over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, with a slight improvement to a 2-star rating in the most recent school year. Student performance is significantly below state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 30-40% in English Language Arts, 12-22% in Mathematics, and only around 10% in the California Science Assessment. The school also struggles with extremely low proficiency rates in the Spanish language assessment.

While Robert Louis Stevenson College and Career Preparatory serves a predominantly low-income, Hispanic student population, the nearby Animo Ellen Ochoa Charter Middle and KIPP Los Angeles College Preparatory demonstrate that higher levels of student achievement are possible in similar demographic contexts. Additionally, the school has experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9% in 2017-2018 to 32.6% in the most recent school year, which likely contributes to the overall low academic performance.

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.
