Hooper Avenue Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 10.9% in 2017-2018 to 57.1% in 2021-2022, well above the 27.5% to 49.7% range of nearby schools. Academically, the school consistently performs below the district and state averages, with only 19.69% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 14.25% in Mathematics, compared to 43.06% and 32.83% for the district, respectively. The school also struggles to support its student subgroups, with many ranking in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools.

While Hooper Avenue Elementary and the nearby schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District share similar demographics and challenges, some nearby schools, such as Dr. Lawrence H. Moore Math Science Technology Academy and Sally Ride Elementary: A SMArT Academy, are outperforming Hooper Avenue in both academic achievement and student subgroup performance. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Hooper Avenue to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools within the same district.

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.
