Figueroa Street Elementary

Summary:

Figueroa Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 376 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Figueroa Street Elementary's academic performance, as measured by standardized tests, is generally below the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy was 39.91%, compared to 43.06% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the school's performance was 37.84%, compared to 32.83% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school's diverse student population includes a significant percentage of Hispanic and African American students, and its English Language Learner students performed exceptionally well, ranking 90 out of 3,160 California elementary schools in English Language Arts/Literacy. However, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.9% in 2017-2018 to 60.5% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Woodcrest Elementary, One Hundred Seventh Street Elementary, and One Hundred Eighteenth Street Elementary, generally perform at a similar or slightly lower level compared to Figueroa Street Elementary. However, One Hundred Twenty-Second Street Elementary, located about 1.28 miles away, consistently outperforms the other nearby schools and Figueroa Street Elementary in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. This suggests that the challenges faced by Figueroa Street Elementary may be systemic in the local area, rather than isolated to the school.

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.
