Holmes Avenue Elementary

Summary:

Holmes Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 157 students in grades K-6. It 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.

Holmes Avenue Elementary is struggling to meet the academic needs of its students. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 19.6% in 2017-2018 to 49.7% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently well below the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 12.5% of students at Holmes Avenue Elementary were proficient or better in ELA End of Course, compared to 43.06% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school also has consistently low rankings for various student subgroups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Nearby schools, such as Lillian Street Elementary and Ascot Avenue Elementary, generally perform better than Holmes Avenue Elementary in terms of academic proficiency, chronic absenteeism, and student subgroup performance. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the extremely high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds at Holmes Avenue Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance. Targeted interventions and support will be necessary to help Holmes Avenue Elementary improve student outcomes and provide a quality education to its community.

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.
