Rosa Parks Learning Center

Summary:

Rosa Parks Learning Center is an elementary school located in North Hills, California, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 534 students. It 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. Unfortunately, Rosa Parks Learning Center has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the recent school years.

The school significantly underperforms compared to the Los Angeles Unified School District and the state of California in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.68% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 43.06% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 23.05%, compared to 32.83% for the district and 35.54% for the state. Additionally, Rosa Parks Learning Center has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.0% in 2017-2018 to 49.2% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as Langdon Avenue Elementary, Noble Avenue Elementary, and Carlos Santana Arts Academy, also perform below the district and state averages, but generally outperform Rosa Parks Learning Center in academic achievement and other key metrics. The high poverty level, low academic achievement, and high chronic absenteeism rates at Rosa Parks Learning Center may be indicative of broader systemic challenges facing the school and its community, which will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to address.

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.
