Twenty-Fourth Street Elementary

Summary:

Twenty-Fourth Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 476 students in grades K-4 and part of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

While Twenty-Fourth Street Elementary has shown mixed performance on standardized tests compared to the district and state, there are some bright spots. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd and 4th grade students outperformed the district and state in Mathematics proficiency, and the Hispanic student subgroup ranked in the top 25% of California elementary schools. However, the school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 8.4% in 2017-2018 to 41.4% in 2022-2023, as well as a very high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Nearby schools, such as Carson-Gore Academy of Environmental Studies, Birdielee V. Bright Elementary, and Arlington Heights Elementary, have similar demographic and performance characteristics to Twenty-Fourth Street Elementary. However, one exception is Mid-City's Prescott School of Enriched Sciences, which is located just 0.47 miles away and has outperformed the other nearby schools and Twenty-Fourth Street Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

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.
