Evergreen Avenue Elementary

Summary:

Evergreen Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 548 students in grades K-6. 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.

Evergreen Avenue Elementary faces significant challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 7.9% in 2017-2018 to 40.4% in 2022-2023. The school also consistently underperforms the district and state averages in academic assessments, with only 28.62% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 26.06% in Mathematics, compared to 43.06% and 32.83% for the district, respectively. The school struggles to support certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools.

While Evergreen Avenue Elementary is part of the same district as nearby schools like Harrison Street Elementary and Murchison Street Elementary, it consistently underperforms them in academic metrics. Additionally, the school's performance has declined over the past several years, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 93.98% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's challenges.

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.
