Summary:
The 90040 zip code area in California is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Rosewood Park and Bandini Elementary) and 1 high school (Kirby Dorothy Camp). While Rosewood Park shows some relative strengths, the other two schools face significant challenges in providing quality education to their predominantly low-income student populations.
Rosewood Park is the largest school in the area, with 644 students, and has relatively higher proficiency rates than the other schools, though still underperforming compared to Montebello Unified and state averages. In contrast, Bandini Elementary and Kirby Dorothy Camp struggle significantly, with very low proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels. Bandini Elementary also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 44.5%, much higher than the district and state averages.
The data reveals that all three schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. This suggests that the schools may face challenges in providing resources and support to their students, which could contribute to the observed performance gaps. Addressing the root causes of these disparities, such as chronic absenteeism and lack of resources, will be crucial in improving the overall educational outcomes for the students in this area.
