Vine Street Elementary

Summary:

Vine Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 251 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Vine Street Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 9.5% in 2017-2018 to 40.7% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance is also lower than the district and state, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that trail the averages. However, the school's Hispanic and low socioeconomic status student groups perform relatively better, while the English Language Learner group lags behind. With a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages.

Compared to nearby schools like Harvard Elementary, Van Ness Avenue Elementary, and Melrose Avenue Elementary, Vine Street Elementary's performance is generally lower. However, the school outperforms some other nearby schools, such as Cheremoya Avenue Elementary and Hollywood Elementary, in certain metrics. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism and providing targeted interventions and support programs, particularly for the school's English Language Learner and low-income student groups, could help improve outcomes at Vine Street Elementary.

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.
