Cimarron Avenue Elementary

Summary:

Cimarron Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in Hawthorne, California, serving 259 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cimarron Avenue Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's performance is generally lower than the nearby Century Park Elementary and Purche Avenue Elementary within the Los Angeles Unified School District. However, Cimarron Avenue Elementary outperforms some of the nearby schools in the Inglewood Unified School District, such as Woodworth-Monroe Tk-8 Academy and Manhattan Place Elementary, which have even lower proficiency rates.

To address these challenges, the school and district should consider implementing targeted interventions and support programs to address the high chronic absenteeism rates, developing and implementing a comprehensive academic improvement plan, exploring ways to leverage the strong performance of the school's African American student subgroup, and collaborating with community organizations and social service providers to address the needs of the school's low-income families. By addressing these key areas, Cimarron Avenue Elementary can work towards improving academic achievement, reducing chronic absenteeism, and providing a more equitable and supportive learning environment for all its students.

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.
