Huntington Park Elementary

Summary:

Huntington Park Elementary is a public elementary school serving 316 students in grades K-5 in the Los Angeles Unified School District in Huntington Park, CA. The school has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other California elementary schools.

Huntington Park Elementary faces significant challenges, with low overall academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and English Language Learners. The school's test scores consistently underperform the district and state averages, with only 27.81% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 37.66% in math, compared to 43.06% and 32.83% for the district, and 47.04% and 35.54% for the state, respectively. Additionally, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 36.7% in 2021-2022, which is significantly above the district and state averages.

However, the school's performance in supporting certain subgroups, such as Hispanic students and special education students, suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to build on its strengths and improve outcomes for all students. For example, the school's Hispanic students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds performed better than the overall student population, ranking in the top 50% of California elementary schools in these categories. Additionally, in 2022-2023, Huntington Park Elementary's special education students ranked in the top 28% of California elementary schools for English Language Arts/Literacy, indicating the school may be providing effective support for this population. When compared to nearby schools, such as Maywood Elementary, which outperformed Huntington Park Elementary in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics proficiency rates, it becomes clear that the school has room for improvement.

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.
