Summary:

Hobart Boulevard Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 423 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.

Hobart Boulevard Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.38% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 47.04% statewide and 43.06% in the district. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 20% of students proficient or better, compared to 35.54% statewide and 32.83% in the district. The school also struggles to support its diverse student population, with lower rankings for subgroups such as English Language Learners and students with disabilities.

While the nearby schools, such as Ambassador School-Global Education, Wilton Place Elementary, and Hoover Street Elementary, also face academic challenges, Hobart Boulevard Elementary's performance is significantly worse. For example, Hoover Street Elementary, which is about 1.15 miles away, consistently ranks in the top quartile of California elementary schools and outperforms Hobart Boulevard Elementary across all subject areas and grade levels. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the increasing chronic absenteeism rates at Hobart Boulevard Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance.

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.
