Fletcher Drive Elementary

Summary:

Fletcher Drive Elementary is a public elementary school located in Los Angeles, California, serving 178 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.

Fletcher Drive Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and serving a high-needs student population. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently lower than the district and state averages, and its chronic absenteeism rate has risen dramatically from 11.7% in 2017-2018 to 45.5% in 2021-2022. Nearby schools like Atwater Avenue Elementary and Delevan Drive Elementary, which are also part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, have significantly outperformed Fletcher Drive Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. Additionally, Cerritos Elementary and Horace Mann Elementary, which are part of the Glendale Unified School District, have even higher proficiency rates than the Los Angeles Unified schools, highlighting the potential impact of district-level factors on school performance.

The extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Fletcher Drive Elementary, ranging from 95.51% to 96.98% over the past few years, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income community, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates may also be linked to socioeconomic factors, such as transportation issues or family instability. Overall, Fletcher Drive Elementary's declining statewide ranking and underperformance compared to nearby schools highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address these issues and improve student outcomes.

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.
